Another great Doctor Who episode but I can't believe the series is over already. How am I going to survive until Christmas? Still we should get the new series of Torchwood in the autumn, so maybe Captain Jack will get me through it!
Don't want to spoil it for you if you haven't watched the episode yet, but can I just say Face of Boe?!?!?! I never saw that one coming.
I have a lovely shiny new PC and its great but I forgot that no matter how wonderful your computer is, if the internet is playing up, you are stuck! A frustrating few days but all seems to be functioning correctly now so maybe I'll actually manage to do a bit of blogging.
I have recently got a new computer and a new all-in-one printer/scanner. So I have been able to scan in this great photo which my uncle gave me at Christmas. This is me with my mother, grandmother and great grandmother, taken a few(!!) years ago. Don't I look sweet?
Now that had to be one of the best Doctor Who episodes, exciting and moving, I loved it. If you loved it too pop across and tell Paul Cornell, the writer.
I've been blog silent for a while; its that time of year preparing for exams. I have Year 11, Lower 6th and Upper 6th this year so loads of marking to do, along with extra sessions and after school help. Thankfully it is now half term so I can have a rest for a few days.
I had a great time in Brighton at the Baptist Assembly. There were a couple of thousand Baptists from all over the UK and there is something so good about being together with so many other Christians. The worship sessions were really inspiring and the teaching was excellent but also challenging. I have come home with lots of things to think about, I may have to get some of the talks on cd so that I can listen to them again.
A lot of the focus was on Freedom and on the abolition of the slave trade. I certainly learnt a lot! At the exhibition we met Norman Kember, who was a hostage in Iraq last year, he was on the Baptist Peacemakers stand and has also just written a book about his experiences. It was a privilege to meet him.
I don't know exactly what I will be doing this time next year, so I'm not sure whether I will get to go to another assembly for a while. I'm glad I took the opportunity to go this year, even though I probably could have used this weekend to catch up on all my piles of marking!

I heard this on Radio 2 recently and I think its great so I thought I'd share it just in case you haven't come across it before.
I've found a great site where you can type in a message and it sings it to you. Great fun and quite a big vocabulary. Have a try at Let them sing it for you.
No particular favourite, I love to make whatever sort I feel like in my breadmaker. Good ones are cheese and bacon, chocolate, banana, cinnamon and raisin, ...
Soup: When was the last time you bought a new pillow?
Not for a while. Probably a couple of years since I bought any.
Salad: Approximately how many hours per week do you spend surfing the ‘net?
Too long, it wastes far too much of my time. I'm too scared to work out exactly how much time I spend online!
Main Course: What’s the highest you remember your temperature being?
I have absolutely no idea! Do some people out there keep a record of such things?
Dessert: Fill in the blanks: When I ____________, I _____________.
When I start a new term, I start counting down to the end. (I think all teachers do this!)
My photo hunt is late this week because my broadband decided not to work yesterday!
