School's Out!

Yes, School is out for the Summer!

Teachers and Learning Assistants arrived home this evening, weighed down by Maltesers, four packs of beer and shower gel from grateful parents and pupils- or maybe that was just me.

The excitement of packing up and sending the kids off for 6 weeks was slightly ruined by the knowledge that we will all be back in on Monday and Tuesday.

Only 3 weeks later, we all have to be back again to more or less rebuild the school as 'major decoration' is happening and everything needs to be put back where it belongs. Then it's planning, setting up the classroom, collecting resources etc etc.

If I'm lucky, it will leave a few days to pop to the coast or enjoy a few rounds of golf before the next bunch arrive to take over my world.

I can't be the only one who is getting a little morose due to the Charlton situation. This summer has almost been an information free zone. When added to the most forgetable season just past, I can't imagine any 'waiverers' now rushing towards the Charlton Athletic ticket office.

Ironic really as it's now that the club needs the support more than any time in the last 10 to 15 years.

I think it's a case of getting behind the team, whoever they may end up being, and hoping that the off field shenanigans are sorted out by people who have the 'correct' motives.

Tomorrow it's away to Forest Green.

I'm not going. I'm not really a fan of the pre season friendly unless it's somewhere I want to be, (Brighton last year) or just around the corner (Welling every year).

I intend to vegetate in front of the golf on BBC while enjoying my beers.
