Boulot métro dodo 2

I spent the morning being interviewed about fencing and pretending to give a lesson, for a student's publicity film. I'm not one of the world's top 10 lookers, or indeed top 50 billion, and I hadn't shaved because I'm fencing tonight and shaved skin + sweat + mobile mask = severe rash and pain. Still it was interesting to see the techniques behind interviewing and filming, and I got to plug my sport for two hours (to be condensed into a 2.5 minute film).

After that - on to a departmental meeting lasting two hours during which we try to work out how to provide a rounded, specialist, interesting curriculum within the new parameters set by management. Answers on a postcard. Finally, I'm off fencing in shrewsbury tonight, including a few bouts with a Singaporean international sabreur before she heads off to Belfast for the Junior World Championships in a couple of weeks. It's my worst weapon so I'll settle for still having the same number of limbs in the morning as I do now.
