julietI have a shiny new phone, hurrah. It's a Nokia 8310 & it is *tiny* & cute.
Nice osteopath student person attacked my back for me. Some improvement now, although still pretty achey, but then if I *will* let things get that far... It should be better more tomorrow, & then I'm going back next week for a second session. I much preferred seeing the student, in fact, to seeing a qualified osteopath, because she & her tutor were discussing what was wrong with me & why, which was of course all v interesting (the short version: my back is fucked). They were suitably impressed by the horrible knottiness of my back/shoulder muscles. (bah, want a massage now).
Took bloody ages, though, & what with that & having to go buy stuff for tomorrow (teaching) (yes & did buy phone as well, admittedly), I wasn't able to fit in the work I was supposed to be doing at home this afternoon so will have to do it on Sunday afternoon. Bother.
I have a Quandary. I've decided that it might help for the kids tomorrow to be able to keep track of their scores in a couple of the games we'll be playing by using counters or similar, rather than just a piece of paper. But I couldn't find anything suitable in the shopping centre. I was thinking something like tiddlywinks or poker chips (except poker chips are expensive). Any suggestions for things I might have around the house that they could use? Otherwise it'll just have to be paper, I guess.
DINNER now. Haven't cooked anything in ages, it should be fun.

Re: tokens
Date: 2003-05-17 09:36 am (UTC)Works well, except that if you do well, you practically end up ODing. Kind of like an auto-handicap system really.
