Ruth: Stuff

Hi!!! Ruth's back!!!

Sorry I've not blogged for like ages, but I have got an excuse. Apparently I've just been through what's called the doldrums period. It's basically something that when you arrive somewhere very different to what you're used to, you get all excited but then sometimes the evil doldrums period can happen. It's when after the excitement of arriving is over you kind of gave a bit of break down because after all, it actually seems all rubbish and everything seems wrong. But that is not what I'm blogging today about , I think it'd be much more interesting than what we've been up to during my 'break down' and when I talk about it, it all seems far from rubbish! But before I talk about any of that I HAVE TO talk about what happened today, at the time it seemed like THE FUNNIEST THING IN HISTORY so hopefully you will at least find it slightly amusing!! So let's actually get to the point, we've discovered that all the school meals don't actually take to my fancy. Even the ones that taste nice, because there aren't enough plates for everyone in the school so once you've finished your lunch you you have to give your cutlery and plate in then some students on washing duty just give them a quick rinse to get any left over food off then they get given to the next person. Starting to see what I mean? So recently (since this Monday) I've been taking in my own packed lunch ,aka a jam sandwich, and eating it in Sister G's security's office. But this lunch at least 10-15 of her cats, she has a lot of cats, last time she counted she had 20 but that was 5 years ago now and her cat family has probably extended greatly now, just happened to be in the room. And when they saw me with food they all crowded round my chair in a big circle meewing their heads off. It was quite annoying actually. But now the funny part comes,1 of the cats  braved jumping on to the desk  once the others noticed they all jumped up. The secretary then chased them out of the room with a stick, but then they chased her back. Finally they all ran into sister G's office and jumped on her in the middle of her meeting!!!! On her lap, her shoulders and even on her head 😂
