dougal helping beth with her revision...prelims start next week, so she's been studying loads and her nerves appear via shouting at anyone of us suddenly and without warning at any given moment...

totally knackered this week with zero work motivation. I did do some today, but not half of what I should have, I have a list on the blackboard I could do without. not helped by more sad news about alan rickman dying. lemmy, bowie, rickman? not a great start to the year...

peggy started her last term of swimming in john's class today - the van was icing up on the inside and out so peggy was on de-icing and scraping duty while I drove....exciting!
