We woke up still quite exhausted from our long day yesterday. I finished the Caitlin Moran book and am now deep into Emma Kennedy's book, which is equally excellent. The iPad kindle app is proving to be a real winner for me. We popped out to do some banking and to get some toners for the printer. I was amazed to see that I could buy a barns new laser printer for less than the cost of the toner on my current model. I will persevere though, it has been a good servant. There is a real end of term feel to the house at the moment, which is all well and good, but we all have lots to get done this summer, so I will be the grumpy old git who continues to nag. It was my last after school club at School A tonight, and we were moved out of the hall into a classroom without any warning or notice. It wasn't the most positive way to end the run, but to be honest, all that matters is the kids and they were delightful. I haven't had it confirmed that I can continue next term, so I have sent a letter to the parents asking them to nag the school to book me again...I hope it works. We then moved onto our Monday night session, which was noisy and fun and a great way to end the year for them. I cannot believe quite how big the group has grown, it's a real boost for us all. In the evening, I sat laughing heartily at the continued news coverage of the hacking scandal. It seems to me that we are almost becoming immune to the corrupt, undignified way that our press, police and politicians act. I tweeted last week that the two most convincing people in this whole sorry tale were Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan...two people who make a living from pretending to be something they are not. Sadly, the rest of the political world seems to be inhabited by people who are trying to be something they are not, and failing miserably to be convincing. The pathetic bleating about how they are cleaning up their act is reminiscent of the expenses debacle. It amazes me how many of them can try to convince us of their moral reputation after they have been caught.
