Well, here we are at the end of the first week of Term 1 2023. I'm not at all sure why I am doing this to myself again ... I suspect money is involved somewhere - isn't it always?
New teachers, new Principal (male, for the first time in about 20 years!) new phone policy. This will be fun indeed!
I keep reminding myself that I have options.. 12 months Study Leave (they pay me NOT to be here) or 6 months Long Service Leave - or even switching my time to 4 hours a day instead.
Guides restarts next week as well... oh, the joy!! At least we won't have an NT State Camp happening here this year, so there's that.
I planned to spend time crafting during the holiday break.. don't I always? Things got a little skewed when Wayne was medivacced to Alice with blood poisoning and they never really got back on track. I did do some craft stuff with Jenny when I spent a few days in Alice, which was great - but I need to make more time for it on a regular basis.
I read a couple of books (actual books, not e-books!) which was wonderful - and I'm currently reading Terry Pratchett's book 'The Last Continent' which is a total hoot! The dog thinks I'm crazy - turning pages and laughing my head off. He keeps sitting there with his head tipped eyeing me curiously.
Pratchett was an awesome writer with a wicked sense of humour. His Discworld novels are just hilarious - but often with a point to make as well.
So.. I'll make the usual promises about doing this regularly and posting photos etc.. and you know I always mean what I say .. at the time, at least.
