WoW!!
I actually left school before darkness fell today! That's a first for several weeks, however, things are beginning to fall into place now. Planning sorted, children starting to behave etc. so - soon, my life should approach normality again.
The pile of ironing however, will not. I shall soon need some climbing boots to get to the top so that I can pick the clothes off to iron. If I pull something out from the bottom, there will be a landslide and an earthquake I am sure of it!! Do crampons leave marks in material? What about those axe things that you use to make holes in the rock face to attach those screw things? I don't really need to do that, but the north face of the pile is looking distinctly Eigerish!
