It's league feast night, and Congreve won, so there haven't been that many charges to look after tonight, although they did come over from main school at 7pm ....... ! The rest will be back in a few minutes, so if I suddenly have to break off and supervise, then - well, you'll probably never realise. Ah - I hear them now.

Good news from Zanzibar has reached us in the form of two text messages; the first telling us that our daughter's room has a view onto the Indian Ocean, and the second informing us that she had been for a swim in the same. (Ocean, that is, not room.) The charity is called 'African Impact', lest you should be interested in seeing what it's all about.

I hear news from the national athletics championships of hurdles records being smashed by a Newtonian, he having also won a clutch of gold medals. You know that I never release names on this blog, but no doubt you can have a pretty good guess who it is ...... ! Many congratulations are awaiting.

The timetable goes a bit strange tomorrow and thereafter, starting with a lie-in of half an hour, so Mrs C and I can enjoy our decadent morning cups of tea in bed withut having to rush. Always a pleasure.

Goodnight.
