Monday morning musings

Monday mornings. Hmmm.

The weather outside is very cold but at least its sunny today. Better for a more proactive mind and for getting things done. I have cleaned and tidied up and am attempting to get school work done early in the week so I can enjoy the weekend.

I had forgotten how god awful daytime TV is. Jeez! I unfortuately slipped into the Jeremy Kyle> ThisMorning>Loose Women brainwash train, and here I am at 1pm having analysed all my classes half termly levels with disfunctional teens and over caffeine-ed middle aged women all putting the world to rights in the background. Hmmm better check my levels and action plans, they might suggest a course of talking therapy for half of them!

The cats have made a few visits in today and been surprised to find me in. Jack rewarded this by bringing in a vole and announcing his greatness with meows for nearly 10 minutes... he then proceeded to rip the poor things head off, at which point i took the carcass off him.

I have also realised its not far off being time to start thinking about christmas. wow. that soon came around. Think i need to shop smart this year, what with credit crunch and huge gas bills (i am currently sat in the lounge with 3 tops on, 2 pairs of socks and slippers and am still shivering- i refuse to turn on the heating!). I shall start thinking about clever presents this week.

Halloween this week/weekend. I wonder how south america celebrates this? so they celebrate it? I'm going to find this out too, and find out how mexico and new zealand celebrates it too. I'm going to a fancy dress party on friday. No idea what i'm going to wear tho! does being a pirate count? or is that just me copping out a bit! MAybe if i go as davvy jones! ahahaha! ah yes i like this idea!

I'm off to research world celebrations of halloween and davvy jones costumes now.

Til next time,

INTI x


UPDATE:
I had completely forgotten that halloween is quite big in mexico... its the first day of the 3 day festival that ends with dia de los muertos (day of the dead). I am now very jealous! that sounds amazing.
In New zealand halloween is not that big, as spring is in full swing, but aparently they do still dress up and trick or treat and stuff

Other places in the world it would appear it depends on how american influenced they are! jeez... does that mean the Uk is an american sheep?! hope not.

Bye again! x
