 The word holiday comes from the Old English word hāligd�g (hālig "holy" + d�g "day"). (In fact, it �s from the dutch word �Heilig � but Wikipeadia doesn �t know it all.) The word originally referred only to special religious days. In modern use, it means any special day of rest or relaxation, as opposed to normal days away from work or school. So far Wiki �s explanation. So my question, dear friends, what could be possibly meant by a �normal � day away from work for us teachers? (and the spammer is gone by now??) Cheers, Peter |

A normal day away from work to me is reading (almost) non-stop ( I mean reading for pleasure)...watching series before falling asleep...because during school time I �m too tired at night so as to focus on storylines. |

For gorgeous ginger felines like that beauty and any other beautiful pussy cats (that �s them all), every day is a holiday. And who would begrudge them that?
