COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good afternoon fellow CDRers hope you are all well today.
I managed to make a quick getaway from work as I was giving one of my TAs a lift home.
So nice to be home in the light!!

Happy Christmas wifey, Lyn.
Just got back with a potato for wifey, an onion for me and some turnip greens for Tidgy.
And some milk for the hedgehogs.
And some sugar for the armadillos.

I'm exhausted.
Now i've got to make coffee, put the food away and then feed and bathe Tidgy.
And change a light bulb.
It's a hard life, to be sure.

My heart bleeds for you!

I'm on outdoor activities tomorrow and off somewhere you probably know very well Adam.
We're sand dune and beach walking at Merthyr Mawr near Ogmore.

Well that's a nice trip if the weather holds.
Only went there once, actually, to study dune formation, was going to go again to have a closer look at the insects and fungi, but got rained off and never got around to it. Beautiful place.

I've been there a few times. We took body boards once and used them to slide down the dunes - great fun.
They filmed some of Lawrence of Arabia there many moons ago.
Should be dry tomorrow but very cold. I'm looking forward to a nice walk that will blow the cobwebs away.

I remember collecting fossils in January at Lydney, down on the Severn Beach. There was ice and snow on the rocks and the wind was whistling up the Bristol Channel. Horrible, but I'd determined to go, so i went.
Found two tiny fish scales and didn't stop shivering for nearly a week.
Was it worth it ?
Yep.

 

[Lyn W]

Nothing worse than the wind whistling up your Bristol Channel!

Must have been very uncomfortable for you!

Indeed.
Lucky I'd left the monkeys at home.

Every time we go out for Outdoor Ed I send a note home telling parents what we are doing, what the kids need to wear and bring etc.
I always add that ' we will provide waterproof suits and wellies if necessary'
My note today caused quite a stir because in my rush to get it typed at lunchtime I made a spelling mistake so my last line read
'we will provide waterproof suits and willies if necessary'
Thankfully another teacher spotted it when she was reading it to one of her boys so I managed to collect them all back in and correct it.
I won't live that one down in a hurry!

I once did a similar thing with a Christmas thank you letter.
"Thank you for the pair of boobs you sent me for Christmas. "
