It's time for another round of greeting inanimate objects like old friends, whinging about absent individuals or just generally pretending I am having a conversation with someone through the old typed missive method! Make of it what you will!
Dear E,
Thank you for behaving in my lessons and being such a sweetie. I don't know what I've done to be immune to your very trying ways that you plague other teachers with but I am grateful that you liking for me leads you to be a pleasure to teach.
Dear C,
I win- Coffee tin drum it is.
Dear Thai restaurant,
I am perplexed by the difference in the same Prawn Thai curry I had last Friday and this. Last Friday, 4 (possibly 5) pathetic shrivelled excuses for a prawn and then today- 8 big, succulent, tenderly cooked ones. Last week, a real dearth of vegetables, this week, loads. I am grateful for this week's offerings but why the great difference?
Dear Darbuka drum,
WHY have I got a large bruise on the palm of my hand?!!?!? How does that even work!?!?! It HURTS! How dare you injure me like this.
Dear Kids who religiously comment on my school blog,
I feel so happy every morning when I come into 10 new comments on it daily! Thank you for making it worth my while putting up those blog posts!
Dear Dinosnore,
I am sorry that CBC is so mean to you! He is just jealous because I love you lots. I'll sneak you back onto the bed when I creep in later.
Dear TA's,
Thank you for the AMAZING Divali treats you prepared for us today! Yes, I did enjoy eating spicy veg samosas for breakfast! Happy Divali!
Dear WOMOTM and J,
YAY, I can't wait to see you soon!!!
Dear Half-Term,
I am so relieved to greet you, even though it feels strangely premature,
Dear Throat,
Don't you even DARE to pull a sickie!
Dear Blog friends,
Thank you for being the constant source of support in my life- I do appreciate your friendship, empathy, appreciation and being kind to me!
Dear Sophie in the Sticks,
Thank you so much for sending me that wonderful book! I am loving it so far!
What would your Friday letters say?
