It's all these niggles that burn up visit energy to no purpose, imo, and I recognised your swirling hordes on a rainy day scenario. <br /><br />My own arrival hate is when the car-park gate is locked at 8.30am to block use by parents and delivery vans, which I can see the sense in, other than this is also the time when the caretaker goes off with the keys for his breakfast. Until 9.30. My rule is always to ask about parking arrangements if you travel with big loads (or with dustbins.)<br /><br />You were very kind over the reading through of the children's writing at short notice. The keen teachers and children are the hardest to refuse, but looking through a few stories always takes far longer than one expects. There comes moments like this when one suddenly gives in and thinks "Okay. I'm here for as long as it takes," even though this isn't a good policy long-term.Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-51174976427981756962017-10-24T11:36:16.598+01:002017-10-24T11:36:16.598+01:00Brought back some unhappy memories!Brought back some unhappy memories!Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.com
