I' m writing these lines(lions?!), from inside the mouth of the Lion's Den and I' m wondering how exactly did Daniel escape? Might he have submitted his project in honour of that moment, and suddenly discovered he was free? I'm expecting to experience the same elation in 48hours.

In which case, the thought has struck my sensitive nervous system, that maybe the synonymity of lion and courage is rooted in how Daniel himself confronted the roaring beasts and has nothing at all to do with lions being intimidating creatures? Role reversal indeed. Let' s award them the glory.

Anyway, I've immersed myself in Lion world since I was inspired about fourteen days ago but I've been in such a state of inspiration that I haven't actually had the capacity to execute my plan. I think this might be a newly recognised medical condition that specifically effects female 29year old senior infant primary school teachers with fake brown hair and it's called canyoupleasegetyourarseingearnowandstopfaffingabout.

Flirting with flamenco and testostorone fuelled bulls in preparation of Armageddon on the 15th, while also seeking light relief on the blog. Might the blogged airwaves be jammed in the next seven days due to increased, or possibly excessive use?
Anyway, have almost survived yet another week in politics and have produced one bead of genuine perspiration to date, as one third of the module is being created. Has any other voice out there experienced a distinct overlap, if not reproduction of same, between the reflective journal and the power point presentation?
Embarking on the third third of the module in the morn, sack of clay in one hand and a bag of jellys in the other.......

I' ve just noticed a patently obvious pattern.... Friday('s child is loving and giving)appears to be the subconcious blog day of choice? How can this be? I' m dumbfounded, confused and genuinely bewildered? Where is Sherlock Holmes when you need him? Did he ever get back with Sad, I mean Sadie, who attempted to develop a vacuum cleaner specifically designed to remove ecstasy tablets from her carpet?
Anyway, meanwhile back at the ranch, a.k.a. I'm too wiped out to communicate verbally with the public, so I'll type tripe to International Man of Mystery Blog instead.
So yeah, or oh yeah(god, remember that band Ash back in the nineties?, they'd make a killing now with that volcano in Iceland), I expect that the eternally unsolved mystery of Friday blogging will remain unsolved like all the other inexplicable occurrences that bestow us don't you think?

I like to blog it, blog it ..... or I tend to completely forget about it(www.blogger.com) when flicking through the other usual suspects of hotmail, internet banking, facebook etc. However, it is gradually securing a place on the regular compilation of sites to surf and a reminder to view is currently being etched somewhere on a luminous pink post it, in that vacuum called my my my my bbbbbbrain....

So, what's in mint condition or what isn't hot off the press?, and could be revamped as news or a ground breaking revelation before the arrival of May Day?
Answer: Nothing.

Eventhough, upon further contemplation I was very sad to be informed of Gerry Ryan's deceased state. I have previously engaged in numerous debates between listeners and non listeners but I have to say I was quite simply a fan. He was funny and he is an absolute loss to the nation.

Anyway, better hit the hay pronto due to certain post graduate commitments in the morn...
Hasta ahora

Genuine article, real mozzarella Ferrari in Atrani, Bella Italia. Perusing a few shots of previous expeditions abroad and I was reminded of this gem. Traditionally scarlet, but the electric blue wins hands down. Who thinks one might squeeze the two wheeler into the boot for weekend recreational purposes if the motor cut out?

Balcony garden in four pots but focussing particularly on one. Lovely hyacinths after breaking through the soil despite a a challenging Winter Spring and then scorched prematurely!

''The girl who chewed chewing gum(a banned substance?)'' which was shot in the Crawford in blistering heat yesterday, where camera woman number one nearly shot herself with non other than an AK 47, will be premiered imminently.
This is an official warning to brace yourself, prepare yourself and generally contain yourself, in advance. Quentin, eat your heart out!
Unfortunately, the stellar cast of ''The girl who chewed chewing gum(a banned substance?)'' won t be hitting the big screen of www.blogger.com til it is officially launched next week.

to compose a blog or not to compose a blog, that is definitely not a good compostion nor does it constitute a question for that matter either. School life has resumed, but it is indeed a struggle to resume. School tour great, Sport's Day great, Drumcondras not so great(unless completed and corrected al fresco), or wait I've got infants this year.... Drumcondras, great, don' t have to do them great, great, great.
The pattern is.......... amuigh, fuera ou en plein air s'il vous plait? The 'Great Outdoors' beckon and demand our instant attention. Get out there, now! Educational captivity is tolerable until the solar energy replaces the Solus $0.99light bulb, and it 's photosynthetic properties hail more than the flora and the fauna..........

Ready, get, set, going to the sunny southeast of Wexford town in the next fifty nine minutes approximately. Road trip number three, as the holidays evaporate before our very eyes, excuse me a moment.... I think I ve just produced a tear, drip drop, boo hoo!

Anyway, I m really excited as I embark upon my expedition and have been preening and pruning myself now for the last.... five minutes or so in preparation of hen number
1, 063.

The theme this time is black, as I contemplate the restrictions of a Killeens bin liner...?, instant quandry because I never ever actually wear black, bar a black puffa jacket that has seen me through two Winters now including the Big Freeze, and might even witness a third? eek.
However, friend to the rescue again, the unfortunate who specialises in regularly bailing me out(always seems to be one sided) has offered me the choice of not one, but eight black garments, two with original tags still intact. Can you believe it???

and yes, indulging in the addictive, contagious, endless, futile pursuit that is............investigating topics of immense interest online, into the sweet hours of the early hours, of what is again the dawning of a brand new day.
The incentive to sleep is nil. The benefit of sleeping has been well documented and the affliction known as sleeping in, has detrimental consequences.
In which case, should one swallow one's alarm clock, invest in permanent black out blinds and install ear plugs to defer the inevitable, or alternatively go to bed at a reasonable hour, close the curtains, notify an available bird in advance and detangle onself instantly from the swissroll that is a duvet, upon the first cockadoodle doo?

Well, I think it might be that time of .............(year, week, where did I put my car keys?)again, when it's certainly NOT appropriate to inflict a candid reflection of a day in the life of a primary school teacher on Easter holidays, who has beaucoup to do but actually couldn t be bothered doing any of it, on the nation of nine followers who occupy blogland.

Currently googling goggle eyed into the midnight hours, everything, bar creativity and individuality in...? choke, splutter, cough outloud. (Will be addressing that ''area'' imminently but not immediately, as I also seriously ponder who wants to know who, what, when, or where I am? in the a.m of what is now the second of April two zero one oh.)

Why, did I tell you I' m going on my holidays this weekend?(however, not in pursuit of the reason) to an unknown, mystery destination where all theeeee hotspots begin, not at the very beginning, but with the letter Bee-ee-ee, ?allyheigue, ?allybunion(see Victoria ?eckham). ?anna, ?randon Creek? Anyone, anyone, anyone? Who can identify the country, the province, the county for which I am stuffing a large black Nike holdall, with stufffing, ?ecause my followers that is all the garments of my wardrobe amount too?!

Happy Easter to M.A. Bloggers!

Elementary Coiling with Infants

Release......

A weight as been lifted...........
Printer doing somersaults as opposed to isitsummer-saults? at dawn this morning, as it choked on a4 paper and whatever ink was left in the cartridge. Mad scramble. Over., and one typed masterpiece of 2, 621 words, unbound, signed, sealed and delivered by Anneka Rice by 5pm GMT on March 22nd 2010. Mission accomplished. Yes Sir.

Anyway, I think it might now be time to contemplate my choice of Easter Egg?? Aero, Mars or pint size Leonidas bunny??! Two weeks san travail, of the school variety, but maybe of the individuality creativity variety are imminent, yipee.

So, I am delighting in the fact that I have made the transition from Bush to blogging and am certainly prepared to devote my life to ICT, as I cast the occasional glance at ''Teens in the Wild''. It appears that roaring, hitting, screaming, hollering, wailing, punching,whacking, bare fist fighting, bashing, beating, lacing, leathering, battering(have I forgotten anything?) is the most effective form of communication these days?

Strad fiddle not a possession of mine

Good morning to everybody, but more importantly to me, as I m hoping by repeating this phrase multiple times that I might actually wake up!
Ok, suddenly objective achieved....
Have just experienced great success with regard to uploading the photo, fumbling for the week to no avail but thankfully have secured the image of a lily as my profile picture.

Trying desperately to connect with none other that Mary d but failing..........

Internet Classroom Technology

Reclining in a seat, in nothing only but the upright position, Jokers to the right and indeed ex lecturer of previous module to the left of me..... how comfortable am I?

Dabbling with the universe of blogging, while entertaining the prospect of permanent membership, dependent of course on the success of my entry.....

Sun splitting the stones outside, obviously in a literal sense which already alerts me to the fact that I will be deficient in Vitamin D by the end of this semester.

However, this issue among others will be resolved by extensive plans for July and August revolving around that great big orange ball of fire and not of the traffic light variety.

Anyway, back to blogging basics.... what can this bbbbbbblog allow me to do that text, email and the humble world of facebbook cannot??
