Nearly at the end of the week.My thoughts...

I have nearly made it to the end of a busy week... a week punctuated by full moon influenced children, trips to the physio and general over eating. Oh, and by the nagging fact that my essay has not yet been returned to me.

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that we are all influenced by the moon. Call me crazy if you want to but I can tell by the behaviour of a) myself and b) the kids I work with that the moon is full.If you look around and there is tension in the air, unrest, frustrated grumpiness, then look into the sky and the odds are the moon will be full... its true, trust me.

My leg is still not fixed. I am very lucky to have been able to see the physio 3 times now for treatment to my calf muscle. I have torn some muscle fibres which are healing rapidly, but not quite rapidly enough. The physio has magic, if somewhat cruel fingers with which she massages my leg. Strange how something so bloody excruciating can be doing you good! Still, she swears she is doing me good and not just indulging in some sort of mean torture...

I realised the other day that I had forgotten I was supposed to be on a diet. A pathetic excuse for over eating, I know, but its true.I am waiting for a new battery for my weighing scales and then I will get on and weigh myself. After that the plan is to restart football and running. At least I will do that as soon as my physio says I can. When I mentioned football the other day she told me off. I am not allowed to play until she says I can. So there. Must stop eating...

And my essay? Still not back. How long does it take to mark these things? Last time it was 2 days, this time its a week and a half and no sign of the darn thing. I am checking my e-mail every 5 minutes to see if its back yet. Come on tutor lady!!! Get it back to me!!!

And last but not least... my VYou thingy. Have you seen it on the side there? I know... its a bit odd and the quality is not great, but I am still weighing it up. To keep or not to keep... Looking at the VYou web site I seem to be the oldest person on there by about 20 years - not that age matters to me. I just like the technology and the thought that I can interact.We shall see how it goes...

Ask me a question and I will try to answer .... don't get too freaked out!!

Ok... this may be a tad creepy and I may well remove the thing pretty darn sharpish, but I saw this VYou app. on Juli Ryan's blog over at Wellington Road and it just sort of appealed to me. I feel all Harry Potterish - sitting on my blog, staring out from a picture frame, waiting for you to ask me a question...

If you look over at my right hand side thingy I am sitting there twiddling my thumbs, waiting for you to ask a question.If you type in the question I get to read it and post a reply!! I just think its quite cool... and at the same time a bit strange!!

So, fire away... if you have a question, do feel free to ask. And if I can think of an answer that doesn't make me look like a complete numpty, I will record it.Don't expect me to sing or reveal any great intelligence.This may be a big mistake, but hey, if you don't try new things sometimes you don't learn do you?

I am expecting to discover, or rather confirm, that nobody out there cares one jot about what I think, but its just a bit of fun....
