I might be checking to see if we travel back in time to 2020 again ;-) But it looks like you're firmly ensconced in the present now.

When all the colours turn to gray
Miss Snippet paused at the door to the new classroom and sniffed. The smell of fresh paint was strong and she immediately checked that the windows were all open, her gaze halting as she noticed that the entire room seemed to be painted in different shades of gray. Satisfied that the five-year-olds who were responsible for the painting and decorating had used the stepladders to reach the windows and open them she then turned her attention to the tins of paint: all gray again.
Julie looked up at her from her Excel spreadsheet and interpreted the look on her face in seconds: "This is for the colour-blinds kids, Miss," she said innocently.

Greg - I am trying to focus when typing the year. It's mostly a matter of retraining my fingers.

Heh, nice to see Miss Snippet again :)
