Doubt that Ophelia had an attic, although that wouldn't be out of keeping with Hamlet and the general theme of depression. I'm assuming that won't be the tone of this blog, however. Unless things go horribly wrong...

The greatest quality of mind next to honour...

The great landmark of the first day of the academic year has been passed. Fairly bloodlessly, happily. Not without a tiny bit of vomit, though. There this boy was, quite merrily chatting to his friend and copying down exercise book rules, he suddenly clamped both his hands over his mouth and proceeded to explode. All over my brand new classroom. No cause as yet determined. Call in House.

Other than that, I quite enjoyed today. The elevens had interesting things to do - the Trojan War and immortality - and the younger ones are all cute and co-operative. Doubt the honeyed haze will last for long.
