Yes, today I decided to sketch my school shoes.
Why? What's the story? Well, basically, because today has been an incredibly busy day, when I've found myself schlepping around the school pretty much non-stop, from 7:15 when I arrived, to about 4:15 when I left. I would love to have had some way of calculating just how many miles I put in today.
It's one of the things about having moved to the new school, that it's just so much bigger than the old one. In the old school, I could walk from one end to the other, between the furthest two points, in about 3 minutes. Now, in the fabulous new building we have, I'm up hill and down dalelike a yoyo. Now, I'm not complaining. By this stage of the year in the last academic year, I was already off work with depression. And the great thing about today was that I did get a lot of things done which needed to be done today.
However, it can't be denied that when I finally arrived home, and took my comfortable if somewhat battered old brogues off, those dogs were barking, to use the vernacular.
Today's doggerel: -
Oh battered shoes
Upon my feet
By 4 o'clock
Smell none too sweet
