Then I went home and on the way home I had to do a lot of food shopping. Then I had lunch – I just had time to have lunch. – then I went out again. I went to another school on the other side of on the other side of London where I taught from four to six then I had half an hour to get from that school to another school in the centre of London … So that was quite a busy day.
