Bogwalker

One of those long Mondays.
Programmes have started.
This morning was the first in our 'Bogwalker' series, a drop-in programme for the general public. Frankly, none of us expected anyone to turn up, but they did, and we ran over.
Shaw TV didn't, but I was cool with that.
Alex and I had to scramble to get ready for the afternoon's school session.

When the school was leaving, one of the accompanying adults came and asked me if I were a biologist, 'because I really know what I'm talking about.'
'Nope, I'm just a teacher,' I said, and then realised that I have often replied with that. Just a teacher. Why is that not as good as a biologist? Or anything else for that matter. And you know what? I know the stuff I'm teaching and that's about it, but she thought I knew more because I am a teacher, and I create an impression of confidence.
And I don't mean to be disingenuous, I was flattered by the complement.

I booked a long overdue hair appointment, then had to unbook it because I had forgotten Wednesday evening's meeting.

After writers' group, Kevin and I watched the pilot of 'Aliens in America' the series that has been partly filmed in the school opposite us and some small part of episode five at our Nature House. I liked it. I found the central character very amusing and sympathetic, Kevin was less impressed.
I hope we get to week five at any rate.
