54 not out and Newspeak

I'm 54 today and can't believe I will be 65 in 11 years.
After a good meal with the family I opened my presents and found this-
On first perusal it looks full of delights and will be an enjoyable read and inspiration over the coming days.

At work today we had S.C.E - Shared Classroom Experience. In other words the Head coming in during class to observe me in action,talk quietly to random children interrogate them and them frantically type her thoughts on an i pad as she goes.Oh the joys of jargon ridden Education where we talk these days of "The Learning"- brave new world indeed.

Have a good evening I'm off to paint some wargs for the weekend...

    Heads talking quietly? The world is turned upside down indeed! At least the children are still random :O)

    Kind regards, Chris.

    I hope you enjoy the present - and may I wish you joy of your birthday.

    My father worked for 37 years in education and left because of the kind of play acting you describe. I do not envy teachers these days.

    Many happy returns my dear fellow. May you have many more such days ( the family and presents bit, not the classroom inspection bit).

    Happy birthday! 54 today, invert that and add it and note that in 45 years you'll be 99. It happens.

    Wargs sounds age appropriate to me. Enjoy.
