Morning folks - gym in a bit. Sunday chores beckon, along with some SEF work and then some sport. Now it's finally stopped raining maybe the hammock can make an appearance for an afternoon snooze

Morning folks - dog walked ticked off. Household chores looming. Then an impromptu meet-up with my cousin, eldest coming over as the youngest and OH are at Oulton Park for the touring cars, and then a mate visiting. So I feel blessed today

Morning folks - busy day ahead. Meeting with our new CEO, working on the SEF, teaching, on call and then a big report to start. That's also while trying to finish some random other jobs you pick up as headteacher of a small school

Morning folks - Trust meeting this morning focusing on plans for next year. Then the dash back to school. Tough day ahead with some things to do. Being a head is an emotional and lonely job when the buck stops with you so it's important to have good networks around

Grown up kids /chadults is a whole different phase, but it's pretty good when they say 'meet me at the pub' and I guess it's a acceptable post gym drink

Morning folks - restless night due to some thunder (I'm terrified of it) so a chill day. Reading, gym later maybe going out somewhere with the OH, not sure but it's nice just being with the most difficult decision being what will I eat next

Morning folks - definitely cooler today. More reading, a trip to the post office to renew my drivers license and then spending some time with a mate. I'm ignoring the nagging call to read my emails
