Rivers and my experience with a tornado…

_44134633_busdepot_damage203 Year 11, after a small, but necessary rant from me, on the repetitive theme of ‘important year’,  we started our new topic, coping with floods. Remember that this year is worth 50% of the course, thank you for handing your work in on time. (with the exception of those that were away, their due date is Monday 1st of October.) I will be looking over your work at the weekend and I’ll also blog in more detail about our first lessons on our topic. The day was particularly bad, very tired and this morning managed to walk into Nottingham through a tornado…. I just thought it was a bit wet and windy, I was much more worried about my hair! :) Some more information about this event can be found at the B.B.C. .

Survived another injection at the doctor’s, course complete, and visited home, where I had the usual education debates with my soon to be starting a PhD brother…

More people leaving…

The B.B.C. reports that a record number of  British people have left the United Kingdom since 1991, most popular destination being that of Australia, I wonder why? The report also shows that a large proportion of long-term migrants are also returning home.
