I’m Sorry Mrs Scully
Way, way back in the 70’s I was at school in Australia. My best friend then is still my very best friend today. We used to laugh so much about our PE teacher, Mrs Scully, and I realised that we still do but now it is with great fondness. She was all the best bits of Miss Jean Brodie, none of the worst. She taught us that “horses sweat, men perspire but ladies GLOW”. She had us dancing and batton twirling but we really knew that she was truly crazy when she was teaching us facial exercises. Yes, it’s true. We had whole lessons devoted to the facial workout way back in 1979!
I’m not laughing anymore, I’m weeping at every lovely but expensive and avoidable CACI session I’ve paid for. Now I’ve started to do the Eva Fraser facial workout program just wishing I’d listened all those years ago, but grateful to have another chance. Mrs Scully, 1970’s PE teacher of Nagle Girls High School NSW, I’m sorry I didn’t appreciate you. You are terrific!
