So cold! The weather has morphed from the loving calm that sailed through the beginning of the week to this she-demon force that rails wind and rain upon us. I'm watching the weather from my desk through the side doors and I do not want to leave here to go to class. The rain is falling in a sheet at a 45 degree angle. A 45 degree sheet, I stress! I have no umbrella. Is class all that essential in the long run, I ask you? I think not. But, we're discussing Babel today in Russian. He is quite the trip - funny and morbidly depressing all at the same time. Isaac Babel, go look him up. Right now. (I can see you not moving. Shoo!) For him, I will head out into this - it's not as though I don't like rain. It's nice to wander in when it's warm and lovely to listen to at all seasons indoors - but it's cold. I don't want to walk in it, just listen to it - especially since I'm going to get dripping wet and then have to squelch through class. Sorry, this is becoming perilously close to a whine. I will close before I descend into a sulk or - horrors! - a whinge.

While I'm not going to look up some Russian bloke right at the moment, I can sympathise with the rain. On only our second school day of the year yesterday, both playtime and lunchtime were all but rained out. That means a 'wet day timetable' and the kids spend lunch inside. Now... in my case, that means my kids AND the kids from the portable classroom next door.
So... yes. There were approximately 50 kids playing games and making noise in my classroom yesterday lunchtime when it only really fits about 25.
The less wet day timetables this year, the better! Bugger the farmers! :)
