1492 And All That

There are some events in your life that you never forget. You know, those special moments that will never, ever be repeated.

I had one of those today.

Dana brought home a box of Krispy Kreme donuts. I must be one of the few people on the planet who had not hitherto tried one of these foodstuffs. Having satisfied myself that they were kosher (something that Dana had checked before – but I’m a stubborn bastard)…I took a bite.

How can one describe the first taste of a Krispy Kreme donut?

It was nothing short of incredible.

The soft, succulent dough melted like honey in my throat. My taste buds took their sunglasses out, stripped down to the waist and sat there, sunbathing on the beach that was now my tongue. It was almost a religious experience.

Fortunately, of the twelve Dana bought, there is still one left.

I am a new (Krispy Kreme) man.
My life will never be the same again.

Forget 1492, today I discovered the REAL America.

I think I've struck gold with this entry. I can't remember the last time I had three comments in such short succession.

I think I'm going to stop writing about teaching and concentrate on describing food...that's obviously the way to become really popular!

Claire, I will call you today...cholestorol notwithstanding.

Larry...too late!

Tense Teacher, from your latest posting, I definitely think you need a treat, so go get yourself some donuts.

I'm not even supposed to be here today said…
LOL~ That was great! Those are some damned good donuts.... so good it feels like sinning!

If I'd known they weren't plentiful in the UK i would've sent you a box.

No I wouldn't have. They're so popular here that I distrust the integrity of the company.

It makes sense to be a little leary of anything suagr-coated when you live in the US!

Ten Jewberry Muds

To get the full effect, this message should be read out loud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation. This has been nominated for the best email of 2005. The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the FarEast Economic Review: Room Service (RS): "Morrin. Roon sirbees." Guest (G): "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service." RS: "Rye..Roon sirbees..morrin! Jewish to oddor sunteen??" G: "Uh..yes..I'd like some bacon and eggs." RS: "Ow July den?"

Bye Bye University

I can't quite believe it but today is in fact my last as a student. My course ends when I walk out of school at 13.15 I've now fulfilled the statutory days demanded of me as a student teacher. From Monday, I will be effectively unemployed - until Thursday, so I reckon we'll survive. That's it folks, my course is over. I have yet to hear whether or not I've passed, although between you and me ( shhhh don't tell anyone ) I am now a newly qualified teacher in everything but name. The exam board meets Mid-July to make those all important decisions and that's when I expect to get my congratulatory letter through the post. It's been an interesting year, to say the least. There have been ups and downs although the positive has vastly outweighed the negative. I find standing in a classroom less daunting and if anything, I now have the confidence to teach, which I didn't have when I started. I know I've only been doing this lark since September (and teach...

Magic Moments

At the end of a sunny day, Dana decided to start a water fight. She sprinkled a bit of tap water in my direction. Then her eyes lit up and she ran out of the room. I of course thought nothing of it, until she returned with a filled water pistol! That was it - The race was on to remember where I'd hidden the other three unopened packets. With pistols at the ready, the kids got in on the act and what could have been a ginormous water fight was almost immediately curtailed as Shira did not appreciate being spritzed in the face. The sheer impulsiveness of the moment was Dana all over and it's one of the things that I love so much about her. The pistols have been seized and are ready, waiting for another day when I predict we are all seriously going to have the most amazing and floodworthy water-fight. I can't wait (and neither can the kids).
