Missed it!
This post is for Saturday Centus a brilliant creative writing meme thought up by the wonderful Jenny Matlock. She gives you a prompt of a few worsds & you have to use them plus no more than 100 words to make a creative piece! Brilliant! Pop over here to read the others. Here’s mine! It is a TRUE story!

“May I help you, miss? You look puzzled.”
“Mmmm… thank you, I’m just looking for my father. We came in together a moment ago, but he seems to have wandered off.”
I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to get ready. I was so excited that at last Daddy could hear me play in the annual music festival. Before I knew it, I was on. I took my music & placed it carefully. I didn’t dare look. Seeing him would make the nerves race!
The applause was deafening!
I rushed outside but he was nowhere to be seen. I waited a few minutes & as he came round the corner realized he’d missed it! He’d been in the wrong hall!
Tales from the Head’s Office!#2
Having retired as a primary head teacher & following the suggestion of my dear friend Paula I have decided to write an occasional series about the 
highs & lows of my headship career. It spanned 13 years & included 3 schools. I hope you enjoy my tales!

Desert Island Question!
I have interviewed numerous people for a variety of posts. Obviously most were for teaching vacancies but there were also secretaries, bursars, caretakers & various support staff roles. Wherever possible, we involved a task of some sort or an additional hoop to jump through. Although this may seem unfair, it is very difficult to see the whole person & assess their suitability just in a set of questions. Of course, as the jobs were always based in a school, Continue reading
They make me cry!
That Chris over at Thinly Spread has tagged me with the Infinite Playlist meme. Paula over at Battling On has also ‘gone musical’ with her latest post. Coincidently, I had been cooking up a music meme of my own along similar lines so I’m going to take a little poetical licence & combine them. My idea came when we were driving home listening to David Jacobs when he played the multi part ‘Tonight’ from West Side Story. I don’t know if you know it but it where all the protagonists are getting ready to go out. It is a fantastic piece of opera & it makes me cry. I always want to sing all the parts. So, I got to thinking of other ‘popular’ pieces that have the same effect. As soon as you hear the first chords you’re welling up. So here, after a great deal of thought are my 5. I challenge you to listen & not have quivering lips! Continue reading
Move Over Liberace!
I can’t remember when we got the piano. It was an old upright. The sort you might see in a pub back in the fifties. I’ve no idea where it came from either or why we got it. Mother had played as a child apparently but had never given me the impression that it was something that was missing in her life that needed replacing. Continue reading
