Many posts with different titles and many titles undeserved – no, still no knighthood for me though. That aside, another day draws to a close and much frustration across the country, divided by Covid yet united (maybe) by Brexit. What do you think? Many more areas now in Tier 4 and other up to Tier … Continue reading
So it’s the 23rd of December and people are doing the final bits for Christmas, I suspect. A very different Christmas where we will stay at home – which for some is a great benefit and for others must be a lonely affair. If nothing else this Christmas, take time to reflect and value the … Continue reading
The end of a tiring term has arrived and time for many to take a break – a much deserved break! The autumn term is always the long one and the usual hard slog to establish the expectations, cut out the complacency and sloppiness. Add to that, Covid and the extra, no warning calls, emails … Continue reading
Another couple of days of school complete and just one to go. Yes, that’s right – we haven’t finished a day early and thrown in a training day that wasn’t going to work for anybody. We will finish the term as planned so that our parents aren’t inconvenienced and we’re not making those last minute … Continue reading
Monday was an incredibly busy day that started with early notification of Covid cases requiring bubbles to be closed and messages to parents.

I had not felt great the last two days so to feel okay now, is brilliant. Nothing related to covid, more the continual grinding out of busy school days with never a second to spare. Knocks on the door for a minute chat (that are never a minute); emails pinging in (the majority of which … Continue reading
It’s getting close to the end of another day and whilst the surroundings may be different the work doesn’t stop. There’s been a bit of catching up today with some bits but also being sure to take some time and rest a little, not feeling great but not having any symptoms related to Covid. I … Continue reading
Highlight of the day – getting a text back from my dad who is in hospital. Been a couple of days and without being able to visit, it isn’t nice. Glad he appears to be feeling a bit better. When your day seems to have a few hours spare in it, you do feel positive … Continue reading
A busy weekend with grassroots football back on, tennis lessons at David Lloyd’s and the annual invasion of snowman coming out for Christmas. There was the now weekly family quiz Friday evening to kick the weekend off. These events are the only way to be sharing time with family members who would usually be visiting … Continue reading
