It's Friday!

Was teaching today! Just local, so I didn't have to leave home till 8.35, home at lunchtime and then home tonight by 3.30. Mixed age children, Years 3,4 & 5, or in plain english, age range from 8 - 10. had pretty much full choice on what I taught so we spent the morning drawing/painting tomatoes. The children loved it and produced some good efforts too. I sat amongst them and did my own drawing. We used coloured pencils, wax crayons and felt tips. I think it helps the children if the teacher acts as a model so they can see how to go about drawing from observation. I came home at lunchtime & had a sandwich with hubby. The afternoon passed quickly, though believe me teaching a class of children is tiring! Tonight we are having a take-away, not sure if Chinese or Indian and a nice bottle of wine. i think the weekend, weather permitting will be spent in the garden, in preparation for my birthday celebration next Saturday. My actual birthday is on Thursday so I dont know what will be happening on the day itself. I know we could go out for a meal, possibly our local, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. After all, we had a lovely weekend in London, last week and Saturday will be another great day, so we'll just see. I must admit I feel strange seeing 50 in print and I did feel a little weepy at one point, but people keep saying I dont look it! I dont know whether they are just saying it to make me feel better, but the main thing is I feel OK about everything. I know I am loved & have a husband who thinks the world of me and would do anything for me, I have a great family, really pleased I am a Nesbitt! I have a great bunch of nephews, sister in law, mother in law etc etc.
