A quick update because I should be doing many many things right now, such as research for my Russian oral or an essay on Nazi ideology or making dinner for my wonderful family, but am so tired that I've decided to just conk out in front of the computer for a mere ten minutes. Today was Whole School Photo Day, which only happens once every eight years or so (I've never been in one), and it involved standing in the cold (and later the rain) for an hour while each year group was painstakingly arranged on the massive platforms they'd set up on the field - from us year 13s right through to the 3-year-olds from the nursery. It took FOREVER. And I was surrounded by guys who insisted on singing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot and God Save The Queen or trying to start a Mexican wave or a mass humming session until one of the teachers screamed at them to shut up through a loudspeaker.
Meanwhile we saw some random tourists quite blatantly sneaking into the school gates to take pictures (to which it has to be asked: WHY?), and at one point some fat man in a grey t-shirt started hanging around on the edge of the field staring at us and taking pictures, OF US, on his camera phone.
"Who's that?" I asked Anna, who was next to me.
She shrugged. "Paedo?"
The actual taking of the photo took about a minute. And then afterwards we all nearly fell down the steps because we could no longer feel our feet.
