So far J has been enjoying his new class which is a relief. He is getting lots of homework though which isn't very easy on top of the exam work. I think it's going to be an interesting year as the teacher he has on Fridays is a real character. He does taxidermy as a hobby & on Friday he brought in a stuffed bat for them to see. They all wanted to take it home (although 2 of the girls said if they did they'd give it a decent burial) & he let one of the boys have it as it was his birthday. I'm just so glad it wasn't J's birthday. Apparently he's also got a stuffed snail. How on earth do you do taxidermy on a snail? If he wants to have a go at a slug I could suggest a good candidate ie the one who crawled up my leg this morning. Yuk, yuk, yuk!
