And breathe

Another evening of 'speed dating' (otherwise known as high-speed parent/teacher interviews). Three nights in a row after three full days. To say I am over them is an understatement!

I am having to consciously slow my speech down now. It's kind of like the adrenalin is pumping and I am talking nineteen to the dozen.

Tomorrow evening, we are being shouted a glass of vino in the staffroom and then I am out for tea with some friends.

Tonight, I have decided to do no marking (I may regret this at the weekend, but there you go). I have made myself a really tasty stirfry and have a very small glass of red wine beside me.

I'm going to have a bath now and then an early night. I can't believe how tired I feel. Hopefully that will translate into a good night's sleep.

This wee lily has sprung up behind my house. It's all alone in the gloom. I liked the water droplets on it and the fact that it was such an unexpected and pleasant surprise to find it hiding around there.

Night.
