The fullness of time

I've been reading today. Reading and reading vast works or historical
importance. I have digested chapters about Charles II wigs, Elizabeth I lead
makeup, Helen of Troys cunning and Cleopatra's ambition.

You see I am writing a new scheme of work for my boys and starting January we
will be learning - the history of beauty.

But now I feel fuzzy and my head is full of Greek ships crossing the Aegean, of
ballrooms filled with exotic monarchs and of bathing in milk with a snake
wrapped round my neck. I always thought that my vagueness at university could be
attributed to the many and various hangovers I suffered, but now I see it was
something else...

I don't see the pale blue bleakness of the staff room with it's dodgy 70's
chairs, I don't hear the sounds of boys shouting and laughing and I can't
remember what I am doing tonight...

Then , that would be because
....for now, I am somewhere else entirely.
