Snow Day

Snow Day It’s looking good, maybe no school! The soft white flakes, falling down Slowly, silently touching the ground. I’m feeling sleepy, I settle down, The pretty flakes, still floating around. It’s got to the point, when I can’t stay awake Tomorrow will be fun, I really can’t wait! The sound of my alarm makes me awake Looking out of the window, this is not fake A blanket of snow, is what my eye traces Is the school shut? All those hopeful faces! Downstairs, on the radio, I’m happy to hear That no schools will be open, I gratefully cheer I really can’t wait to tell all my friends No work for a day, no pencils, no pens No such luck, they’ve put on the website Right under CLOSED All clear, all bright, SNOW WORK each letter big and bold We should be having fun out in the cold. No, not now, I will do it tomorrow Snow work? Today? Oh, the sorrow, The snow is still falling, white on white The news says it’s like this all night. The day passes by ever so quickly The snow is still falling, very thickly When I get home the fire is on Keeping my house all cosy and warm The weather forecast looks right again More heavy snow, too cold for the rain I smile widely as I close the curtains No school tomorrow, that’s for certain!

| On Tuesday I cycled into the back of a Hovis Lorry. My head hit the lorry with some force. Ambulance took me to hosipital but I was given the all-clear apart from a suspected broken nose and a few cuts and bruises. Could have been worse. As someone just said to me, I could have been brown bread! Geoff |

Graduation - Winchester Cathedral
10/21/2009 6:30:19 PM
|
After studying and researching part-time for a few years, I graduated today with an MA in History. Honorary Graduands who attended the ceremony were Jack Dee, the comedian, and Sir David Frost - they both applauded me when I collected the certificate and it's not often you can say that! Must stop pretending I'm a student soon - that's a hatrick of degrees now but I'm getting too old for this. Geoff |
