i: woke with horrible pressure headache -- bit better after anadin extra but bleagh
ii: then NO COFFEE -- tea no substitute at all
iii: THEN smashed little finger into doorframe in stupid clumsy way X(
iv: plus both pads have broken off glasses, which they do way too easily on these ones -- easily replaced but £10 is £10 pah

had strange dream where i was checking off a great list of all my schoolteachers to find who was still alive, who (if any) still working -- i think inspired by "gorgo" in love&rockets (beto version), who spends his time looking for people, in stories that make great jumps into the past, and who rather resembled a french teacher at my school 8-12, who (at that time) had been at the school for more than 40 years (and so has presumably retired now) (hard to check as i can't remember his name)

It's never occurred to me to look into former teachers, though one made the news several years after I left the school. My former housemaster was shot at the school by the husband of a woman he'd been having an affair with. Oh, and my wife had a colleague comment on her name, because he kept hearing about a former pupil called Skidmore from his maths teacher, and that turned out to be me, so I know he was still at the school several years after I left.

no, nor to me, till this dream --the kinds of schools i was at tend to be rather self-regarding in terms of public flaunting of their histories, so it's not that hard to find stuff, at least on the more faithful servants

(i also looked up the one who had to leave for p43do activity, not at that time a career-ruining deal, especially: but his name is not rare enough to track anything down)
