Weird day

So what made today so strange?
1. I was walking to school in Teddington (catch the overground to Clapham Junction, then a South West trains service to Hampton Wick), I'd straightened my fringe, so I was hoping for no rain. Alas, it started to sprinkle. I looked up to the heavens to see a clear blue sky, sprinkled with a few off-white clouds, certainly not rain clouds. I was perplexed. At first I thought a gust of wind had shaken the water from the trees, but no! It was raining and I still don't (or can't) believe it came from those few wispy, innocent-looking clouds. Weird!
2. I arrived at school to find they had only allocated one period for me to cover. Rejoice! I hear you say. Nope! The principal hates to see his supply teachers sitting idle. So, how did they utilise me? I spent the entire day (except for my one class) shredding paper. A job fit only for a child on detention. Boredom set in rapidly so I started timing myself, making it a race against the clock. True to my good Aussie work ethic, I shredded 7 large black garbage 'sacks' worth of paper. I have more paper cuts on my hands than the entire cast of Jackass, the Movie put together. But hey, at least I got paid.

Halloween Party at Carrie's this weekend! Can't wait.
