Nutella News.


It's been a while. I know. I feel like an abusive husband- smothering Life in the Day of Me with love, affection and time, and then snatching it away without reason or explanation so that it remains in fear and anxious expectation of when things might return to normal again. It's kind of a power trip, but incidentally not one I enjoy. Much.





Things have been busy. I helped run an English camp that was the biggest in the 27 year history of the company- it was less teaching and more crowd control. Putting together a production of the Wizard of Oz in four days to show the mamas and pappis? ABSOLUTE MADNESS. I was on crack when we decided that was a good idea. However. I did find time to smother Italian children in Nutella and film it, though. It was as much fun as it looks.













I might love my job.

    That video was quite frankly, an inspired work of genius.
    Well done to all involved! Bless 'em :)

I am sitting in my little apartment all by myself and I just laughed so hard I could have died.....what would Gabi have thought if he had come in this evening and found me slumped in front of your blog with a huge smile on my face, but quite suffocated....?!?! That I had died happy, probably, thinking about my wonderful friend :) > I miss you x x x x x

Everything looks better with my eyes open

Above my bed

Image
The metre-and-a-half wide frame has hung empty above my bed since July. I paid a man to hang it. I'd harboured, to begin with, reservations about how my feminism and my employment of somebody else to execute the job dovetailed awkwardly, but after I hit myself in the face with a hammer one night, not understanding the difference between a nail at 45 degrees into a diving wall and a drill with a spiral anchor into a brick wall, I decided the most feminist act would be, in fact, to use my hard-earned feminist money to feministly delegate somebody better qualified to help me out - who yes, just so happened to be a man. I have never looked back.  The room needed something above the bed - that's why I got the frame and had it hung - but I couldn't rush to fill it. It needed to be right. I didn't want a generic Ikea print: they can satisfy the dead area behind the door in the living room because that is a neutral space. Bedrooms - bedrooms must be ...

Your story is not ready for you to worry about yet

I teach creative writing, and often what happens is that my students repeat my words back to me and I don't understand that it was me who said them first and it's a headfuck. I love teaching. I love communicating knowledge and I love using my skill with words to package information in a way that lands with the other person. I sort of took it upon myself, at the end of last year, to help one of the girls I used to nanny with her 11+ because I could so clearly identify where her boldest missteps were and part of me thought  maybe I am interfering too much  and then her mother cancelled her tutor and asked me to come over instead and you know what? She aced the exam and I know I played a part in that. After, when she called me to tell me how good she felt about what she'd done, I cried. She's working on a novel and she FaceTimed me on Easter Sunday from a walk on the Devon coast to show me some goat poo. That child reminds me to be love. Some people have comme...
