Welcome to 2023 and everything that brings

 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.
