Change of season

Yesterday was the first morning this autumn that I had to scrape ice off my car. The weather was very cold, and when I drove home after a school open evening at 9 o'clock it was misty and icy. It was a taster of cold weather to come, although it was much milder again today so it's not quite winter yet. A good week so far; I'm very pleased with what I'm getting done at school. Today I completed my food hygiene course, it was good fun and we got to make smoothies and fruit kebabs as well as looking through a special machine to see how well we cleaned our hands! Sad news that another Red Arrows pilot has died less than three months after one of them was killed in a crash at an air show. This time an ejector seat went off when the plane was on the ground. I'm heading for my bed now because I have another long day at work tomorrow. I have finished a good book lent to me by Catherine "A Special Relationship" which was fascinating, a real page turner. I have now started "The Lantern" by Deborah Lawrenson which Heather has lent to me, I'm loving it so far, it's set in the south of France and is full of vivid descriptions and a pleasantly sinister atmosphere.
