In 1972 I, together with about half a dozen other student teachers, were sent for the first time to 2 weeks teaching practice at a local "boganish" primary school. I rocked up on a motor bike, leather jacket, with long hair and beard. Because one of the grade one teachers was crook the headmaster while addressing the student teacher group said, "Right, you lot in turns will be supervising that teacher's grade one class for today". I was up first up and after chasing some of the monsters around the playground for a bit I managed to get them inside the classroom and sitting down. I explained what was going on and then asked "Any questions?" one kid shot up his and and said "Are you the cookie monster?" Well that was it, the rest of the kids chanted "Cookie monster" for about 5 minutes and when I tried yelling they just did it more. I developed a lot of respect from grade one teachers after that

Here's a picture of the Tambour topped box I was talking about today.
This is an internet image since I haven't actually made mine yet and mine will be a little different but this is the general idea.

Doug and Pagie, the zoom meeting ended for me with about 3 or 4 minutes left on the timer. Second time this has happened to me - did it do the same to you?

It finished about the same for me too. We could always use Skype or FaceTime.

Yes there was still time left according to the timer, but I looked at the clock and it was exactly 12:40, which is the scheduled time to finish. I know sometimes it has started counting from the time the third person joins the discussion, which would have meant the time started about when Bob joined today. I have also seen a message at the end of chats sometimes saying the session was terminated because the host had not shown up.
I think they may have tweaked the settings on Zoom and maybe now the meetings just end at the scheduled time. Who knows?I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

Hi Simon, Sorry I didn't make it today. I got called away on a family issue. My partner's mum has been acting like a goose so we had to do a quick trip up to Benalla. I just got home five minutes ago. We have been getting 3 to 4 people on for the Friday session lately so an extra would have been nice. Not sure where everyone else went today.

Managed to have a few minutes chat with Simon but then my grandson arrived a bit earlier than expected so had to go. Should be there next week.

Bob, Sorry it seemed like a lost cause today with the internet problems. Hopefully you will have it working next week.
