Take care ‘old timer’

It became known around the school that I had been cajoled into taking part in a staff v yr11 Basketball match for “Red nose day”. On the day of the event a girl in yr 8 came up to me at morning break and proudly announced that she intended watching me play basketball at lunchtime. As she walked away she hesitated a fraction, turned round and said, in very caring tones, “you will be alright won’t you Sir?”  Don’t you just love them?!
