It’s my son’s birthday today and he got his first phone which he’s really chuffed about. I sent him a text message so he’d have something when he switched his phone on, and I got the attached response. Damn those onion-slicing ninja.

So it turns out that Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, was in town today and popped into our school because we’re a bit of a high flyer with the old Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. I’d been put forward for a long service award, which is flattering, and I got a nice little certificate to pop on the mantelpiece. To put it in perspective, though, I’ve been involved for 6 years (essentially since I joined the High School). This pales into insignificance compared to some of my colleagues who’ve been involved for 10, 11, 18, 22 and – in one case – 31 years with the scheme.
It’s nice to get a little token, I have to say, especially for something that I do because i enjoy it, and because so many of the pupils get so much out of it. Colour me a nice shade of chuffed.
