Pernickety – fussy about detail

Gormless – brainless or inept

Lackadaisical – without interest, lethargic, lazy

 

Quick write

The choir master – a great poem from Terry. Lazy old sod. Pearl’s lunch. The organ. The band lackadaisical at the International Women’s Day event. Music like dogs.

 

Reading of homework

Me and my shadow – a great poem by Wendy. The childhood memories of Mick McCord. Walking in the dark. People are annoying. The word annoying is annoying and arrogant.

 

Reading  

Terry now has the Diary of Ann Frank to read and an Isabelle Allende book. Trish read out more of her story from her life in London.

 

Exercise

We enjoyed a progression write on the topics budgie smugglers, toilets, the shovel, sex toys, dolphins, alcohol and pole dancing.
