Giveth with one hand, taketh away with the other

It was going to be such a sweet week. Bank Holiday Monday, closed Thursday for Polling Day. But then came the cause of this week's ulcer - Ofsted are making a flying visit on Tuesday and Wednesday, sending everyone into meltdown.

In other news... this weekend we saw this tower of brownies in Borough Market. It was hard to take this photo, as Claire said it was surrounded by a crowd of women worshipping it.

Relax, have some brownies and show those ofsted folks you are a great teacher! You are, right?

Tim F said...

Or give the brownies to the Ofsted goons, in exchange for a decent write-up.

Ian said...

God... I could eat my weight in those right now!

Annie said...

I'm a reasonable teacher Dcver, but Ofsted is very scary. This week a head teacher of 20 years resigned in protest at the inspections

saying they represent "public humiliation" . Not reassuring when you've been teaching less than a year.

Tim, I like your thinking. And if that doesn't work may resort to sexual favours.

Lish and Ian, get in line ;-)

But, but, but...the sign says WHOLESALE! and you can get them in 1kg TRAYS!

1KG!!!

Sod ofsted, eat yourself into a chocolate coma.

Annie said...

Chocolate Coma, good band name.

"Miss Black was unable to join us for the Ofsted inspection. She is currently in a chocolate coma."

Yes, I can see that working. Cheers, Greavsie.

Give them Ofsted folks spinach stuffed with brownies! Healthy food.

That's a lot of brownie. If that toppled it would be "death by chocolate"

Ahhh, the brownie obelisk. I am prostrate before it! ;)

Annie said...

GG, spinach as a bribe - I think it only works on Popeye.

Adrian, I can think of worse deaths.

Nat - I must have underestimated the love of women for chocolate. Maybe we should start a cult ;-)
