Yeah, I swear, I swear............

Having missed her all day yesterday I was determined to spend some time with my mate hebs today.

Before our daily briefing I arranged to collect her from her office at 11.00 for a cig break, under the threat of "Even if I have to pick you up and carry you out."

This led to recollections of LH, one of our colleagues who many years ago as a fresh, nubile 21 year old PE teacher was "kidnapped " by the Vikings. Taking a group of pupils to London for the weekend L was checking the pupils off the coach for a theatre trip when a little voice piped up...."Miss, there's Vikings!" ....."Don't be silly ", replied L...."But Miss, honest, there's Vikings coming down the road"....."Right no more messing about and no more silly talk about Vikings" said L in her best teacher's voice.

At which point a hand reached down the front of her top, groped her and then she was slung over the shoulder of a Viking in full regalia, horned helmet and the lot, and carried off into the night!!!!! To say she was not impressed is something of an understatement!

Anyway I duly picked up hebs (not literally, she'd have slapped me) and we went for a cig break. Seeing as I blipped her rear end a few months ago I thought I might try to get a portrait today.

This is the result! A rude gesture from a senior colleague! To a Head of Faculty and joint longest serving member of staff! Honestly! Where's the professionalism gone?

Still, I got her cheeky grin and I reckon even with the two fingers and the fag in front of her face she looks pretty good. There is another shot of hebs today, but I printed it off and gave it her to keep.

See, I told you today would be better than yesterday, it's amazing the difference a mate can make.

Das vidanya moy padruga.

p.s. notice the picturesque surroundings we are in when we get to the "leper colony".
