For the past seven years I have had to trapse across the school and upstairs to get to my office. Not that I have complained; it's a real boon to have an office. But there have been a few moves within school and the office right below my classroom became vacant. Our very kindly deputy spotted this and encouraged me to stake a claim on it. Hence I have spent today unpacking boxes in my new office and covering the array of cork noticeboards in lovely purple paper (see above.) I am most pleased with the advancing purpleness. The hideous desks are being replaced soon and I'm working on getting the site manager to replace the hideous curtains. (Dog dirt brown is not in keeping with my taste in colours!)
The previous occupant very kindly donated this wicker screen to hide the sink.
My new home has one downside; it is next to the medical area and apart from the general medical odour, there are often sick or hypochondriac children lolling around outside. Once such boy today groaned theatrically every time I walked past. He informed me that he had "the worst headache in the world ever." He also had a mouth ulcer.
"Well, I don't think you'll die from a mouth ulcer." I informed him in my own inimitable sympathetic way. (Anni insists I've had my sympathy chip removed but I beg to differ. I did allow a little boy with braces to clean his teeth in my sink after all!)
I might if it perforates and gets infected! Came the cheery reply.
Hmmm! Definitely a hypochondriac! It sure is going to be interesting working there. I'm off out now to buy a super strength plug in air freshener from Aldi....

Loving the noticeboards, and you certainly didn`t give your sympathy chip to me when it was taken out.
