- Finishing marking a whole set of books;
- Harper’s attempts to scam an extra meal out of Evelina;
- Rich’s return home from London;
- Having a healthy debate with some Year 9 students about the value of English as a subject (and the meaning of life);
- Watching Evelina read the opening of one of my favourite books (/ book series) of all time (Northern Lights from His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman).
