So many people returning to work today and tomorrow. Hope all goes well. Glad to have a little longer this year.
Was not that impressed with the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus last night. Shame. I’d been looking forward to watching it.

Help! How do I sign out of Facebook now? My husband’s gone and logged on, and the layout has changed, and I can’t see how to sign out!
It’s okay … I’ve found it … not instinctive at all. Argh. Changes, changes.

Actually … I’ve just found something which might mean that I haven’t taught them the wrong thing after all …
Just realised I’ve taught my pupils something that is completely wrong, and in a lot of detail! The sort of thing they’ll remember! Oh dear!
Can anyone tell me accurately what the name Shmuel / Samuel means? (I was drawing on my knowledge of Hebrew, which is very rusty!)
Struggling with planning a lesson on Boy in the Striped Pyjamas … Holocaust … where was God? … for Year 7s… RE based lesson… help!
Have added another photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/skambalu/3452819837/in/set-72157623035157789/ to the un365 group. Great group!
Love the Web universe map … #bbcrevolution … Google, Facebook, Ebay, Amazon, Twitter …
Haven’t been on for 12 days! Too busy flat hunting. Now watching #bbcrevolution - interesting that they’ve added a hashtag.

Lesson observation first thing tomorrow. Have printed out my lesson plan, all resources ready at school, early night now I hope!
RT @kristungati Bingu ‘promises’ to meet William Kamkwamba, (the boy who harnessed the wind), ‘soon’. #Malawi
Anyone in New York Tribeca tomorrow? Go to Barnes & Noble 7pm and meet @wkamkwamba book signing!

RT Beautiful conkers. Reminds me of my childhood. Autumn has arrived. (A haiku inspired by my walk to school.) (FAO @digmo)
If you like Malawian autobiography, you should also read The Jive Talker by @holyballism Samson Kambalu - out in UK and USA already!
This book is launched in USA - I think it’s already out in UK - I haven’t read it yet! http://tinyurl.com/y8jzpwp @wkamkwamba
Oh no, I completely and utterly missed ETRU! Oh dear. Still, at least observation lesson is almost planned. Almost.
Managed to burn my lunch. Ah well. So early, too. At least that should give me time to make a nice video about suffering and mark some books
Help - what is the name of the site where you can store big files rather than transferring by email?! Thanks for all ideas!
