Books

So, I've had some time to read a couple of books.

( First Among Sequels )

( Dead Until Dark )

(No real spoilers in the mini-reviews above.)

I read more, but that's enough for today.

You know what's weird?

This is:

Lounging around on the bed, surrounded by books and the television on mute and then catching a glimpse of your boss on tv. I grabbed the remote, switched on the sound and listened to our head teacher talk about the greatness of my school. She had a bad hair day, sadly. I also got to see a corridor, one of our science rooms and several Year 9 pupils, of which they interviewed two.

I'm meant to be recuperating at home, but no, work intrudes in the form of a report on regional television. Context: National test results have again shown that the federal state I live in lags behind. The debate about our school system is heating up again...

I'm glad I'm missing Open Day on Saturday - even went so far as to asking my doctor specifically to include Saturday in my sick note - she went one better and extended my sick leave to Sunday.

Yes, I'll probably be back to school on Monday.
