Sorry more prodding to come.
I'm fair to middling, thanks.
The new crowd are for the most part loud and still don't recgnise the connection between actions and consequences...

Hee! I assisted at a school trip today, and was put with the reception/class 1 tiddlers. It was like trying to herd very small, noisy cats. But they did come out with such gems (eg Farmer: "Just you stand back. I need to see to the electric fence so we can go see the chickens." Jake (aged 4 and three quaters): "Oh, wow! Electric chickens!" and "Miss! Miss! I know what sort of farm this is! It's orgasmic!") and they were so enthusiastic and full of wonder about it all. But - actions and consequences - yep, know exactly what you mean after today!

many of them are lovely. They are all nice kids. Just need to learn that school is for learning as well as socialising!
