It's been hot here too. At least it cools down at night, but I suppose they must close the windows at the school at night.<br /><br />God bless you and all those kids in your charge.

I can imagine that heat - we only experience anything like it briefly when we have holidays in Florida and feel totally lethargic and unable to move - just a walk across Wal-Mart car park usually finishes us off! A classroom with no air-con must be a real challenge. Today I woke up to rain, it's nice and fresh, a little cooler. Scrappy dog is having a walk with me this evening and we will be picking elderberries. My brother has visited and now walks dogs at a rescue home as he can't keep a dog of his own - great idea! I forgot to say how I like your Mary Poppins header - this is you! I think you need a carpet bag to put all your school things in - the kids would love to watch you bringing various things out - like bright green beetles in matchboxes!Elderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-79478042026087723692011-08-23T19:56:03.652-07:002011-08-23T19:56:03.652-07:00How long does it take me to get adjusted?
