Approximate Reading Time: 6 minutes I’m back in the land of the positive. I can’t remember if I mentioned that I got my dissertation proposal back? I got 68% (The lowest I wanted was 68%, so I’m happy.) The feedback my lecturer gave me was very helpful except she said: “You seem to have a …

Everyone loves a little Biscuit
Approximate reading time: 3 min I’m back!! It feels like years since I sat down and wrote anything new. In my defence, I have been on holiday in South Africa for the last month…forcing me out of my room into the big wide world of human contact pretty much 24/7. It was amazing to see …
Au revoir Little Angel
Approximate reading time: 7 min Can I just start by saying “Thank God” Summer holidays are FINALLY over. The downside of being a semi-self-employed supply teacher pretty much means… Now I need to clarify, that when I talk about having “no money” that certainly doesnt mean I couldn’t book a holiday to The Netherlands for …
Bailey’s song
I hope you are all well. Sorry, tonight I am totally cheating:-) But it’s been a long, hard day of actual work (AKA teaching) and I don’t have an ounce of energy to write anything of substance at the moment. The only real news that I have is that Bailey for some reason, (known only …
Top Dog
Approximate reading time: 6 min I hope you are well:-) It’s been an amazing week. For starters, I actually finished my assignment, early!!! (Wonders never cease!)

All in a day’s work

On the 14th of July 2023 it will be my one-year anniversary of being a bonafide, serious, committed blogger! (For someone …
Gaslighting yourself
Approximate reading time: 4 min I have had a pretty good week. Dare I say it…..??? ….but it feels like I am starting to land up at some lovely schools these days….. Maybe the schools are better or maybe I am just a bit tougher in myself and not reacting as much, as I used …
What was I thinking?
Approximate reading time: 12 minutes This week has been amazing and terrible all at once:-) Let’s get the terrible out of the way. Sometimes I’m not quite sure if I am brave and keep pushing my boundaries or just plain stupid and keep crossing my boundaries. (It’s such a fine line you know!) After deciding …
Dysregulation
Approximate reading time: 6 minutes I find it very interesting how so much of my life at the moment, somehow seems to link in with each new poem at hand. Same life lessons, different contexts. ****** So, last week was pretty great. I was a happy mummy to one doggy child. While walking Bailey …
A day of poop
Approximate reading time: 3min Today has been a fun day!!! I came down this morning to find that the pork ribs I had ordered with my Chinese last night had magically disappeared. I thought I had put them in the fridge. Mmmm apparently not….. and what is that I see in the dog’s basket but …
