Oh my goodness, was doing some admin on the blog when my calendar caught my eye. No posts this month!! Is the year just running away or what? Autumn is here and new year’s resolutions are fading. For myself that represents my blogging. For my students that is coming

pretend

I’ve been listening to Nonyana’s 4 boys pretend to crow early in the morning, afternoon, lunchtime. Pretty much whenever they get a chance. I say pretend because what comes out of their mouths cannot yet be termed a crow. It comes out all wrong. I don’t know how the

aspirational consumerism
