So why did it take me four days last week (not counting the interruption of HNT) to describe the events of a dirty weekend with Emma? It was just me obeying my house-rules, based on my experience as a rebellious special-needs teacher presenting suggestions on policy to senior management. I always made it a rule that the powers-that-be should be able to read anything I wrote in less than two minutes. My reasoning was simple: by the time they had decided they really didn’t want to read it, they’d have already read it. When I started this Blog I decided to adopt the same policy. Two minutes is not a great chunk of your busy lives. And even if you only drop by once every couple of days to catch up, it won’t be like reading War and Peace. Okay, it does mean that describing a session with Emma in a single post makes me sound like the original minute-man. But hopefully it stops you getting bored.
