Hope the school inspection goes well!

Hi, Rusty!
Your book sounds very interesting! I hope you enjoy it!
The school inspection went well. We were reasonably impressed by everything.
The Head Teacher has been recently promoted from Deputy Head, so I guess it remains to be seen whether the "new broom sweeps clean" and alters the existing set-up, but as it stands we were very happy with the situation.
The children seemed alert and interested in what they were doing - and the two children that showed our group around were well spoken and informative. One of our guides was the Head Girl, who was10, and the other little girl was only 7, but she did very well indeed.
I think we will rank this third on our list - so we now have four good options! The prospects are definitely looking brighter. My daughter is feeling much happier!
I have been on my feet all day - apart from sitting on the train and very briefly on a bus! I am exhausted!!

Hi, Rusty!

Who co-wrote "If I Had A Hammer" with Lee Hays?
I'd forgotten about Miss Orlando's graduation tomorrow ........ are you now all pressed and ironed ready for the big event?
I bet you are feeling very proud of her? Take lots of photos to commemorate the occasion!
Where is the graduation ceremony being held?

No, Chris.... he sang it , didn't he? but he didn't write it.

Actually, his wasn't the first name that came to MY mind as regards singing it.......

Mmmm - who are you thinking of? I think Peter Paul and Mray covered it, a bit later. (What has six legs and a handbag?)

Pete Seeger, of course (thanks to Google). I wonder how he survived the McCarthy era? I did wonder if it was earlier, and Woody Guthrie.
