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!) I turned up to work this morning only to discover that there had been a mix-up with the agency and that the school hadn’t actually made a booking. I …
All in a day’s work
Approximate reading time: 4 min I’m stuck at an impasse! I need to post something by tomorrow because I have successfully posted one blog post a week (at least) for almost a year now. 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.

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 …
Unpacking the anxiety…
Approximate reading time: 11 min I have a confession to make…. In my last post I lied…. Well, it was a teeny lie by omission …. I said last week was “fun but exhausting” …. Although there were elements of fun to it what I should have actually said was “last week was emotional, draining …
“My God”
Approximate reading time: 9 min I hope you have had a good week so far. My week has been a little bit of a manic mess. (A far, far cry from last week!) I have been dogsitting lovely grampa Colin while continuing to look after Bailey for 3 days, and then walking Dolly as well. …
My fight with food
Approximate reading time: 8 min It’s been an awesome week!;-) My flatmate, Richard’s girlfriend came down to stay with him for a couple of days and she is as lovely as he is. I ‘attempted‘ to make us chicken-rice soup but it kinda turned morphed into a risotto. (I was trying to be all ‘Jamie …
