Simon's birthday

So let's all wish Simon a happy birthday today (27- bright young thing still).... We are going for a meal this evening (although the weather forecast is gale winds and torrential rain).

Not much other news. Had a busy afternoon yesterday going backwards and forwards to the school I am governor of- I was supposed to be sitting in some maths lessons but the maths teacher told me when i got there that all his lessons are in the mornings! So we had a nice chat about the curriculum and I came back to work. To leave again at 4.30 as there was a full governor's meeting at 5.30! The meeting was actually quite interesting as Channel 4 want to come and do a documentary at the school (as it is a special school for autistic children) and we were debating the rights and wrongs of this project. It is going to be brilliant for autism awareness but they want to focus on three or four individuals and it could clearly end up portraying them in a manner which they might not be comfortable with at the end result. I think we are going to wait until they have decided who they want to focus on before we give it our final blessing. Interesting though...
