Hello, bonjour and sil vous plait! Back once again with… a blog! Well, that was a different start to this week’s entry – just having a laugh, really! :)
I felt a bit bad about ignoring my parents over most of Easter so I tried to spend some time doing something that they would be interested in this week. Growing up I was always the Golden Boyo, so I think it’s only fair that I do more to increase my caring side. So I put the online slots away and we’ve been playing online bingo instead. It was a real quality family moment – mum and dad in the lounge, me in the cellar. Dad even set up a walkie talkie downstairs so I didn’t even have to see them face-to-face. He’s a very considerate man and I think I definitely owe my personality traits to him!
An online bingo club is a bit different to a regular club (well duh!). Firstly, you’re actually playing against people in the real clubs, and secondly, there are no fruit machines or bars to go to. It’s basically just wall-to-wall bingo. Perhaps unsurprisingly, mum and dad made more money than I did. I didn’t make anything! Mum’s old bingo team, Too Phat Laydeez ’88, made a lot of money on the bingo scene two decades ago, and she clearly still has ‘Bingo Wrist’ as they say in the biz.
All in all – a fun Saturday night!
Back in school now after Easter, and it’s hard getting the kids back onto the track after they’ve been stuffing their faces with Easter eggs! My main plan of action is to just randomly chase them individually at the beginning of the lesson – just to get them warmed up. It’s worked so far as they’ve done everything I’ve said! Might put together a PowerPoint and present my findings to my colleagues at the next staff meeting (which I’ve been told will be during my lessons in future – who’s gonna cover me?!).
Well, time to go, enjoy your weeks, internet friends!
