Hello everybody,

I'm beginning to feel more like a proper teacher type person now, particularly given I have officially attended two - yes thats right - two staff InSeT days! Blimey do teachers know how to have a good time - I'm sure you're all curious to know exactly what happens on these 'training days' but you're going to have to keep on wondering as now I'm a teacher type I'm bound by the secrets of teacherdom - yes thats right teacherdom. Hmm I think I might have drunk some funny orange squash or something, this post is a little bit strange and mostly an unnecessary waste of time. However on the bright side, since my last post, I have almost 8000 words. That is not to say I have 8000, useful or insightful words, just that I have managed to bluff my way to the end and hit the word count. I have absolutely no doubt that I'll still be working on it late on Thurday if not Friday morning, but hey ho!

Only a few more weeks and I get my life back (temporarily) - then I just have to worry about securing some kind of employment. Meep. I hope the sun is shining wherever you are, and fingers crossed for some warmer weather (the electric heaters in the flat have been costing us a fortune to run!). Cheerio ta ta for now  

Yesterday we had a slower day, the weather wasn't quite as nice as it has been, not wet, just a little cloudy. In the end we headed over to Gwithian to walk along the cliffs and look out to Godrevy lighthouse. There were quite a lot of surfers out making the most of the waves so we stood and watched for a little while. Although the blue sky wasn't making an appearance it wasn't especially cold and made for a pleasant walk. Having managed to miss them all week, we decided it was about time to get some Cornish pasties for lunch. We dropped by Philp's in Hayle to get 3 pasties and scotch eggs to takeaway. They also did takeaway cream tea for four but we gave these a miss as we already have scones and cream in the cottage.

The lunch was very filling and we found ourselves stuffed for the rest of the day. Dani and I played some ping pong in the games room whilst mum read for a bit in the afternoon and after tea we watched 'Goodbye Christopher Robin' on DVD (the cottage has a really good selection of recent films). A bit of a lazy day, but it is a holiday!

Today we decided to head for Mousehole which is a small fishing village on the coast. We parked just on the edge of the village and set off for a wander. The weather was similar to yesterday with a lot of cloud although the sunshine peeped through a few times bringing with it a bit of blue sky. There were quite a few nice shops and galleries to look in and mum managed to pick up a few nice bits including a seaside sign and a tree decoration. We stoppped for lunch in The Old Pilchard Press cafe with me and mum both having a panini whilst Dani had the special of mackerel pate and toast. It was all very nice and the service was very good with a warm welcome and cheery service throughout. 

Later in the afternoon we decided to drop by St Ives for a wander around the shops. We bought a few bits, including a framed picture for mum and a pink dinosaur for me! We dropped by Tesco on the way back to the cottage picking up burgers and chips for tea. In the evening me and Dani went for a quick drive back to Marazion to see if St Michael's Mount was lit up. Sadly it isn't. I tried a couple of photos but the camera was struggling to focus. Headed back for a bit of TV and packing before bed, home tomorrow!
