This is at 23 weeks - only just past 1/2 way!
We've just had the hotest week on record in July in England. Temperatures stayed above 30 celsius all week - and now that it is finally the weekend all that hotness has turned into thunderstorms and rain, typical english behaviour!
It was so hot at school - I measured 38 degrees in my classroom at 10am on wednesday - that most primary schools and some secondary schools closed at lunchtime on wednesday. Kings is made of tougher stuff so we soldiered on regardless - all students and male staff wearing shirts and suit trousers - female staff seemed to be wearing considerably less!
We have 4 more school days before the end of the term - one is sports day - and then we have 5 weeks off before starting all over again in september. I do prefer the english system of short holidays every 6-7 weeks throughout the year - but stil get jealous in July when its stinking hot and I know that Canadians are already safely at their cottages for the summer - and all the private and independant schools in england have finished as well!
Got to get going - am having a very lazy saturday watching the Open golf on TV, and pretending to write the schemes of work for one of the new courses we are offering next year!
See all you crazy canadians soon eh,
Stephen
