To be even more productive, ye children of Fetlar, what you need are lounge chairs. As the school administration won't want you to get dehydrated, the authorities should consider providing you some appropriate iced drinks (and snacks: no, not unhealthy chips, but tapas approved by Jamie Oliver).

Oh you kids have such a life! Enjoy it greatly! And a sagacious comment about laptops. I never thought of that advantage. But don't you find it difficult to see the screen in the strong sunlight?

Well lads your brain is the ultimate computer, what comes up on the screen allways should be questioned, not taken as a fact. The vegies must be putting on growth in the polly tunnel. Regards

You guys are lucky. We were never allowed to do that at school, always in the classroom except for break time and PE.

When I was schoolmastering in Istanbul back in the Stone Age, along cam the Spring and I decided that the boys should have a practical biologiy lesson. So I sent them into the gardens to find interesting things. The first one came back with a 6-inch long centipede, the second came with a 4 inch long scorpion. Both had torn out very small pieces from their copybooks as "protection" between their fingers and the beasts. You can imagine how quickly that excercise got cancelled. PS. No scorpions on Fetlar, i supose?

Not even the human kind. 'Tis the Garden of Eden of Shetland...
