tree_and_leafThe AGA is broken! Help!
Oh well. Looks like we'll be exclusively eating stuff you can make in a microwave or eat raw until the engineer* comes.
*Yes, I chose the word 'engineer' deliberately. it's a big beast, an aga.
And I don't quite know how I'm going to get all my class prep done by Friday morning...

Seriously, I have had run-ins with broken cookers and it is No Joke. Especially if your canteen is as bad as ours.
If you're preparing lessons, it can sometimes happen that if you've been agonising over a thing for ages without actually doing it, the actual lesson-planning bit may be over sooner than you'd think.
And sometimes breaking a huge, nasty job into segments helps - tell yourself you WILL finish x part by 6 and then you can go home. Doesn't always work, but sometimes the results surprise me.
Oah no-ah!

Now, where did I put Jill's phone number....?
