      Yes. Too much sometimes. I think mucking is important to let your brain have a rest. The challenge is then getting back to focus on what you were doing before. Mucking about can be anything from being silly (chair races) to playing about with something more constructive (e.g. playing one of the recent iPad learning games to see what we think is good / not so good).

      Most certainly I do. People often play jokes on each other. I’m very bad when it comes to dry ice – I can’t wait to play around with the stuff when it comes it even though I really shouldn’t
