Cycling medal and curry

This morning Jamie made me a mug of coffee and we had a lovely chat. The weather was quite nice compared to the last couple of rainy days. I went up to school and Jackie and I looked at the results for our pupils (mostly good; we are pleased with them) and spent a large part of the day time-tabling - it's very complex because we have to map it onto the main timetable and there are a huge amount of factors that we have to take into account. We made some good progress. When I got home I was in time to watch Chris Hoy winning Gold in the Olympic cycling. He was so overwhelmed at the medal ceremony; it was very moving. I loved the film of his Mum watching him compete from the stand; she could hardly bear to watch and kept covering her eyes and then looking again! I decided that after this emotion we deserved a curry so Jamie went and collected it. Not for James though because he is down in Warwick overnight nor Ally who is at a party. Jamie, Davie and I watched a film called "Chronicle" which was quite good and thought-provoking. Not a classic but I enjoyed it. I'm beginning to regret it now (the curry, not the film) because my tummy is feeling a bit burny. However it has been a very pleasant day.
