Today was exhausting. It was a mufti (out of uniform) day, it was a wet day & it was also the last day in a SUPER busy week. However, (my boss would be so proud of my 'full-stop capital h however comma') there was an amusing situation which made up for at least a portion of the craziness... yet also added to it.
When Katrina and I were walking down to class this morning we noticed that every other class was lined up on their verandah except ours (which was highly unusual, since we have the super good kids)... we just assumed that being out of uniform had turned them feral & prepared to lecture them about being in the right place as so on.
It wasn't till we got really close that one of our boys ran up and said "there's water!" We then saw that the bark-chip pile next to our classroom had sprung a leak... the grounds-keeper had hit a pipe while he was trying to move the bark-chip. The water was not just trickling down the hill to kindy, it was arching up at least 2 metres, over the railing and onto our verandah, preventing the kids from getting close to the door. Since the water was spurting from underneath a bark-chip pile it was also "hailing" bark-chip on our doorstep. We had a layer of bark-chip covering almost 2 square metres outside our room, which of course got trekked into the classroom once I managed to brave the fountain & usher the kids inside.
Crazy start to the day, but makes for a good story.
