A weekend of highlights and lowlights here on Planet Mad:
Lowlight: teaching lessons on Saturday morning with all that entails, a parents' meeting and supervision of tennis
Highlight: spending a lovely, albeit slightly drunken, Saturday evening with Christmas Chris, a big plate of good, wholesome pub grub and various salacious text messages sent by a friend enjoying a girlie night out in The Big City
Lowlight: being phoned at 10.00am on Sunday to be asked to be in charge of the House for most of the day
Highlight: having a beast of a Sunday lunch at a nice pub by a lake
Lowlight: having to endure a school orchestra rehearsal
Highlight: going out for an Italian meal with about 30 girls from the House plus all the tutors

What does this list tell me?
Firstly, I ate out 3 times in 24 hours, meaning that I truly am deserving of the moniker "Woman who eats out". Perhaps this explains each term's amazing weight gain!
Secondly, I'm dreading the run-up to the school concert in May (to be held in the prestigious venue of St John's, Smith Square, London, no less!) which will see dire conducting inflicted on quite talented musicians, who will respond by not playing well and therefore killing music that should be lovely but isn't. Thank goodness string orchestra exists to redeem such existence.

Anyhoo, off to teach now - yippeeeee!!
