Scary loos!
So...I have not been having much luck with toilets recently.Flying back from the UK I found myself trapped by the window at 38,000 feet above the Indian Ocean as the people sat between me and the aisle were both asleep. Bursting for the loo I roused them from their slumbers, apologised profusely and dashed to the loo. I don't know how I did it but whilst sat there I somehow tripped the flushing mechanism and the toilet flushed beneath me. The noise of an aeroplane flush is bad enough with the lid down but when it is directly under you it's terrifying and I almost died of shock! I thought I was being sucked out over the Seychelles and cried out in horror.Today, I was back at work doing four days at the local school covering for the Prep teacher who is taking a weeks long service leave. It was all pretty straight forward and with a final teaching practice student in there I am really getting paid for doing very little. I nipped to the loo at break and lifting the lid found a fairly large frog clinging to the rim staring back at me! I, again, cried out in shock and it dropped into the bowl and I promptly flushed it away noting another being dislodged from under the rim and it too disappeared down the drain. This kind of thing would never happen in England! I can tell I am definitely back Down Under!
