20th December: A Busy and Varied Day


1. A child getting excited that I might still be their teacher next academic year.

2. My colleagues loving my Christmas Pudding hat!

3. Giving out Christmas presents at school. It was great listening to them trying to guess what they were!

4. My headteacher ringing to give me some lovely feedback. 

5. Watching Arthur Christmas with the P1-4s.

6. A crescent moon where we could see the shade of the rest of the circle. Apparently, this is called Earthshine.

7. Baby Ailsa having a great time playing with her napkin and napkin ring.

8. Auntie Clemency being made to roll Baby Ailsa backwards and forwards on a box lid!

9. Wrapping Christmas presents - finally getting there! 

10. Canine cuddles. It may have been cupboard love (they wanted their advent calendar) but it was nice that they were being super-affectionate!

11. Clemency waking up feeling much better after being ill yesterday.

12. Watching videos of the winter solstice at Maeshowe.

13. Listening to Christmas Carols by the fire this evening.

14. Showing The French Family around the grounds of Stempster - they made all the right noises!

15. Ailsa climbing the Pop Tree (with the help of Mama!)

16. Seeing the pheasant on the dog walk. It's so friendly, Mummy had to go ahead to frighten it away so that the dogs didn't get it!

17. Ailsa and Jess coming face-to-face and just staring at each other!

18. Teaching Baby Ailsa all sorts of bad habits at the lunch table - she was very good at it too!

19. Sharing in Ailsa's Book Advent Calendar. She hangs the tiny books on the tree once her Mama has read them to her.

20. Granddad and Baby Ailsa playing with the wooden trainset.
