Overheard a Y6 boy asking girls if they knew what rubber johnnies were. I said I didn’t know so he’d better ask the HT. She ‘enlightened’ him.
A Y6 elsewhere told his table that he was going to r*pe me. I said the girls in class shouldn’t hear stuff like that. He got suspended for week.
It’s needed.

Thank you. The Russian sailors & the harbour took me back to Christmas Day 1964, walking back from my grandmother’s with my parents & little brother -past a Russian boat in the harbour.
A little girl spontaneously sent up the gangplank to give a sailor a box of Quality Street & say Merry Christmas.

I’m generally alto - although singing shapes I’ll go to treble if the parts need evening up.
West Gallery I play and sing. Turns out moving to Sussex has been a jolly good thing. I’ve got a ready made social life with folk I’ve been doing music with for twenty years elsewhere…

I think Kate did it with Chamber Choir at school, but she had a three octave range.
I was most upset I didn’t have the reach to sing the top line in Balulalow.
I still have the score somewhere - from 1973…
How is that 52 years ago?

On the A835 there’s a junction where you turn off to go to Scourie/Durness going north and the road climbs pretty steeply. August, about 21.30.
Deer jumps across the road and I slam the brakes on…
He ambles off - and standing in the heather watching are all his mates.
Barsteward was playing chicken.

Small classes.

Being a formal pupil of even a modest private or grammar school opens doors because many people are a bit snobbish.
There’s an element of coaching in the teaching - for Common Entrance or the Oxbridge selection.

That’s actually no surprise.
You’ll remember I’m no lightweight - but walking from the car in Lewes last night I had to duck behind a wall as I couldn’t keep my balance in the wind.
Luckily the rest of the house is in Cologne so the trains don’t matter…

Yes. They did read differently in the 80s.
And I dare say being in the UK & being white also mitigated the effect - but her books were never ever an easy read.
We had Tar Baby, S of S, The Bluest Eye & Beloved on our reading list.
But then Cry,The Beloved Country was on our O level list in 1973…
