Back to school

Had a happy afternoon meeting at Downs Junior school with two teachers called Lesley and Cara. We sat on children's chairs discussing me taking Skelly into school for a couple of sessions in April. Is it just me or are teachers hugely better than they used to be? All the ones I have met lately seem really professional compared to the gin soaked rabble who taught me back in 1816. Happened to walk past London Road station as a train arrived, so I was home in five minutes too.

Reuben told me later that Downs was his Alma Mater. Otherwise worked briefly and effectively on poems, admin, when not feeling exceedingly run down and hypochondriacal.
