Well, what to blog this week? I know, that sounds very reluctant. Someone might say: “Why bother?” It’s just that I have decided that I will try and do a weekly blog and Saturday is the day I have nominated to do it. I’m still new at this thing.

Thanks first of all to all my friends who have emailed me about my blog. One person emailed and said I looked handsome. Wow! That made my day – actually it’s made my month. Especially since the commenter in question is a lady. (It wasn’t a relative.)

I start writing exams this week and continue until 10 November.

I remarked to a colleague that after riding to and from work all week, I was now “feeling my legs” – her dry retort was, “Well as long as no-one else is feeling your legs.”

We move forward with plans for our musical at the school I am working at. I am directing it and this thing is big. Our music teacher left us this week, and we are not sure as to whether or not he will be returning. Nevertheless as the old saying goes, “the show must go on.” I am a trifle nervous, but there are things that are happening that allow me to be optimistic.

"Your enthusiasm will be infectious, stimulating and attractive to others. They will love you for it. They will go for you and with you."

Well I have no shortage of enthusiasm, so Mr. Norman Vincent Peale, I hope you’re right.
