Day 52

Day 52

Tuesday.

My first session was on today! St Michaels have always been good with attendance and punctuality so I had high hopes that my session would be on.. I was not wrong!!

However, I had a short number turn up this week.. Only 4. On the rare occasion, there is another group on the field.. Today would be one of them rare occasions. I approached the teacher to ask if he would like to combine groups and I would take a session for them all, saving him some work.

I was hit with the return of "you're coming to St Michael's wearing that hat!?". Me, rather naively, replied "oh should it be a Manchester United cap?". However, he wasn't talking about what brand or team it was.. He was talking about how I was wearing it. He started going nuts saying you should set an example etc. So I replied so "I'm a bad person because I wear my hat backwards? I wear it backwards to protect my neck!!" And he was like you're a bad role model la la la. He asked "shall I go get the principal" And I said "feel free, I've told you the reasons why I wear my hat like that and plus this is my uniform, it's arsenal branded. Go get her!" He didn't. It just annoyed me because number 1 he's not my manager and shouldn't tell me what to wear and 2 he shouldn't speak to me like that, acting up in front of his class and 3 I was coming over to do him a favour to save him some work. He's just a member of staff, a cricket coach to be precise and he's trying to tell me what to wear. 6 months I've been working abroad wearing hats and he's the first to EVER mention it. Twat. (Excuse my French and my rant.)

That was the main excitement of the day. My next two sessions were cancelled!

I met up with the boys in the evening to go to the cinema to watch edge of tomorrow which was an awesome film, very clever. It had Tom Cruise as the main actor with Emily Blunt (I think!).

After the cinema we headed to St Lawrence's gap for a couple drinks. We went to a reggae lounge and then some Karaoke bar which was quite funny! We got speaking to some girls who were from Pensylvania and we got their numbers so we'll probably see them over the weekend. I know exactly what you're thinking.. "Players."

All the best
