How are you this windy morning?

I'm fine. I don't have the heating on in the office, I actually have the door open!
I've also tuned the radio to radio 1. It's shit, but it's not magic so I am a very happy lady this morning!

It's bloody freezing here. It was snowing a bit further north last night, and I'm surprised the rain here didn't turn white. But at least it's dry now.
And I have no radio on. I don't like music at work. It either distracts me, or irritates me, depending on whether it's music I like or not!

I'm not sure how bad the stroke was, but it seemed pretty bad, and seemed to knock out a lot of her memory. It was a bit strange really - I visited her and she knew who I was, but she kept talking to me about things I was doing in the third person - 'Ooh that's lovely. My grandson rubberduck's doing that too' etc.
As a result of the stroke, she fell over and broke her arm and hip. That's what a couple of decades of osteopirosis has done for her bone strength. She'd only just started to recover from breaking her other hip back in Feb too...

Hello :) Ooh good luck with the interview, was it a good school?
( , Mon 10 Nov 2008, 13:16, Reply)

Nor can I remember any of them.
( , Mon 10 Nov 2008, 13:17, Reply)

It was a good school GB.
It was one that had been failing. So the Head Teacher was taken out and a new one put in. In the last Ofsted it was 'good'. (Which is better than it sounds).
The area a school is in doesn't matter nearly as much as the leadership.

So, were you interviewed during the reign of the old head teacher?
It all sounds very promising!

I have nothing interesting to say. My weekend involved packing, moving house and cleaning, with a brief interlude for not getting the internet to work and a much-needed trip to the pub.
Al - that online risk game is easy if you stop playing it like you would with people and think about how predictable the computer players are. My record so far is world domination in six turns.

I've been and signed on and been to college today, what a busy little bee.
How was the weekend for everyone?
( , Mon 10 Nov 2008, 13:29, Reply)

I was interviewed by the current head.
It came down to me and one other person. The reason I didn't get it was that the head at my training school gave me a really shitty reference. The content of this reference came to the attention of my mentor and it ended up with the head getting a bollocking.
The Head of this school said that if she had any more vacancies then she would let me know as she wanted me to join the school.
I am still going to give it everything I've got as I don't want to assume anything.

The thread died!
In other news, I am quire pleased as I went to college (as I said) and met my mum for lunch afterwards as she works in the college. The pleased bit comes from the fact that there was homemade curry in the cafe for 2quid! Result!
So rather than having manky old sausage and chips or having to make something when I got home, I had a bonus curry meal today.
And we're having Toad in the Hole tonight.
It'll be a Good Food Day.

Have you seen the Nigel Slater recipe Lucy? You take the skins off the sausages and wrap them in pancetta instead, and add wholegrain mustard and maybe a dash of cream to the batter. Makes a great dish even better!

(although that can be arranged for a small fee)
It does involve my arse and rather more blood than I'm comfortable with coming out of that part of my body. And some bonus pus as well, there's a lovely image for you all. At least I can sit down now for the first time in days, despite eating ibuprofen like sweets!

Sam that sounds like a damned good recipe for Toad in the Hole. I'll try that one day. Probably not today though as I promised my dad I'd cook Toad in the Hole, baked beans and mash for him as he's on night shifts and it'll cheer him up before he goes.
And also cos I'm creeping a bit as he's helping me choose a new car. :)

( , Mon 10 Nov 2008, 16:40, Reply)

Headaches are caused by inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain, thus raising the intracranial pressure. The most effective thing I can think of would be to remove a section of skull overlying the painful area (I would recommend using an oscillating saw such as one of the Stryker bonesaws), thus relieving the pressure. Application of a topical anti-inflammatory cream such as Hydrocortisone directly onto the meninges should treat the swelling, allowing you to glue your skull back together after a couple of hours.
EDIT - V, you'd be going to prison I'm afraid. If they separated your moustache from your face in order to incarcerate it alone, it would surely count as an execution.
