Helllo over here. Life’s busy. I thought last year was hard but this year as an ECT is worse. I passed my PGTA with a distinction this week and I’ve been teaching full time. Am absolutely shattered. Probably too old for this, really.

Back to work tomorrow. I have barely had any time off this holiday. Feel as tired as I was at the end of term. Have done my assignment though and about 1/5 of the term’s planning, plus am up to date on college work. Need a holiday. 2.5 months to go and I’ll get one.

Tbh I am looking forward to 1991. Am on delay, on 86 Aha, but the 90s… This was my era. Early 90s, school and uni, my coming of age, boys, make up, snogging, keeping skinny through non-stop dancing. The stuff nostalgia is made of #totp

Well the 1999 #totp were woeful tonight and reminded me of how dislocated I felt from current music back then. Stopped going to festivals as it was wall to wall Texas and Supergrass. On to 1986…

And now, I shop. Into M&S for something easy for tea, and double Traitors tonight. I should be working but I don’t think I have it in me. Feeling rough. I still have not had one day absent since September. Tomorrow, I may wave the white flag and call in sick to college.

I put this on the other place and most were nice (apart from some random who should have listened to Thumper’s mum) This was my just turned 15 yo’s art homework. Am so proud and also so pleased she gets to do her one GCSE option in something she loves.

‘Morning’ (it’s not but I have only just finished breakfast) Got to do some work and feeling v sick about it. I’m at a new school for another 3 weeks, very strange to be teaching kids I don’t know a new curriculum. I am really feeling the slog of this course and wondering why I started it

May be more on here again given the other place’s hellsite situation

It’s been a long day. Drove to kid’s school, then to mine. Full day of teaching. Shopping. Drove home, straight out in car to do ballet run. Lost my lip balm and my lips are sore. Sitting in a car park in the rain doing my planning for tomorrow. Tuesday is the worst day I think

#totp is fun over here. I don’t think I can bear the current episode, though

PSA: don’t try and check your socials while you make your lunch. Especially if you are easily distracted.

I made a turkey and ham pie with leftover Christmas meat. The only thing I had to buy which I didn’t have in was some mustard. Made my own pastry. It was lush (and I did sprout tops which I adore) Am now wondering why I am not looking too slim at the mo 😆

Him: more flat pack furniture construction. Me: curry making. And drinking fizz. Definitely the right way round, my flat pack previous is Not Good.

Waiting around to take my kids half way to their dad’s. Never like this bit of Christmas. Limbo until they are handed over and I do miss them.

All good so far this Christmas. Last day of having my kids until January tomorrow (yes I get two whole days ‘off’ this holiday!) and it’s my youngest’s bday. Looking forward to getting out and hopefully seeing the sea for the first time in a few days

Happy Anniversary to the Enomo Walrus Ham™️. 9 years ago, fed up with always doing *everything* for Christmas singlehanded, I tasked the ex with ordering the ham. He smugly returned from butcher’s- piece of cake. Christmas Eve he turned up with this bad boy. 9kg, not 9lb. He did not find it funny. 😆
Enormous ham so big it only just fits in a tray the size of the oven A walrus which looks like the big piece of ham complete with wrinkles

Discovered a microbrewery tap room as well as a cool train carriage cafe walking distance from the new house! Excited to try it out soon.

It always bothered me why Simon Le Bon got so many lines in DTKIC, other than being matey with Bob Geldof (and obvs a massive star) George Michael and Bono’s voices way way better. (And don’t start me on the lack of female voices)

Find it interesting that so many women I speak to say ‘I’m an alto’ when they are definitely not. I used to say this before I started singing lessons. I’m def a soprano, although I can sing alto. A lot of the time it’s a lack of confidence and of course vocal training, I think.

@lickedspoon.bsky.social my lessons on your Christmas dinner article went well! Both students have learnt a lot this year so far and could pick out lots of language features in your writing. They loved the exploding bourbon story! I asked them to rate the writing and they said 9 and 10 out of 10 ❤️

A bit of crying but mainly the dogs did well last night. Up early with them to take them to the loo and feed them. They have explored the garden. Everything beginning to smell of dog now 😭 currently washing their beds.
