I f**cking hate these bastard tennis balls! I wish they had nerve endings so I could inflict pain on them, they are the shittest juggling balls ever! Even the bloody lemons make better juggling balls than they do - at least they've got some weight on them even if they are an odd shape, but I can't juggle with the lemons for long cos if I drop them ( Read more... )

Oooo, Kitezh volunteers video is up and running on the Ecologia website! So excited :-D If anyone's interested in watching it, follow this link http://www.ecologia.org.uk/ and click on 'Ways to visit kitezh'. It should be pretty obvious from there.

Proper update to follow.

This will probably be my last post for at least two months, since the village I am about to go to only has one computer with access to the internet (which sometimes doesn't even work due to bad weather!) and they ask that I don't use hotmail or Live Journal when I'm there. I may get a chance to update again when I go to Moscow in April though ( Read more... )

Stolen from Dawn:
Reply to this post, and I will tell you which of your icons is my favourite. Then post this on your own journal using your own favourite icon.

Unfortunately I don't actually have a favourite icon. I like my evil cat eyes one just on principal, because it's a cat and cats rock. Lenore is good for when I feel random and weird in a ( Read more... )

Hmm, went back to the careers centre today to look through some of the folders they have there. Was quite rewarding - I now know that there are several paths in the care sector that I would potentially be interested in going down, so I'm not just limited to a career as a social worker (which various relations have all advised me to think very ( Read more... )

I have been doing lesson plans all week and my brain is starting to get a little fried. Really I feel like I should be satisfied with the progress I've made so far since I've got a lot of new material, but the list of things to go through actually seems to be growing rather than shrinking, lol! I can't even relax in the normal way by listening to ( Read more... )

Me (on entering the room): You look very smug
Ilya: Yes, you looked very pleased about something, so I presumed it was me.

Well I have finally found the time to update my journal. The only problem is that I can't remember half the stuff I wanted to say... Christmas happened, obviously, and various other things, but I've been so busy since then and now half of it has slipped my mind, lol.

Everyone arrived on the Friday before Christmas ('everyone' being Ilya, Anne and ( Read more... )

Ok, I really really will update in my next post, but at the moment I just wanted to have a little rant about Harry Potter (for which I apologise in advance, especially to you non-Harry Potter enthusiasts!)

I recently discovered that the title for the seventh book has been officially announced: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows... Am I the only ( Read more... )

I am going to echo the comments of several others and wish everyone a very happy new year, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I will post a more detailed update later... I hope.

In the meantime, I thought I might share this poem with you all - I found it while I was going through all my children's poetry books looking for appropriate ( Read more... )
