But he was calm, dignified, and kindly so long as you did as you were told.<br />And then my aunt had this cat that used to do good works: it would vist the sick. And it formally greeted all visitors, as a gracious hostess should.<br />I once had a cat that used to kill bees and arrange them in ruler-straight lines. I suppose that WAS a bit psychotic - but the danger was only to bees. Apart from the bee killing, it was a rather dull cat. Cats are individuals!

Although qualified for teaching, I had no real experience and was unsure how to tackle what I saw as a very difficult classroom situation.<br /><br />The best advice I had, was from our head, who said: "Just remember, our kids have just one major problem in learning", (Yes what is it?) "They're all shit scared of making a mistake!" .<br /><br />Over 10 years, just this one paradigm have served me well and helped many learners overcome this one basic block to further success and learning.<br /><br />As for cats, they're not psychotic. They just think that they are in charge! Everybody I've ever met can't understand how the boss thinks!<br /><br />ManxliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290574097841845967.post-30000106155978034732013-01-26T14:16:42.973+00:002013-01-26T14:16:42.973+00:00Loved the story of the tramp - so funny!
