I got soaked walking from my office to my car after school today. I was saturated to the bone and the coolness of that has stayed with me all night. I have been super active and handled lots of tasks that I’ve been too hot and bothered to attend to all week. I was on bus […]

My year has began well. I have rearranged my furniture and cleaned the house. It feels more spacious. I have removed some clutter. There is always more to let go of. I noticed yesterday how I just move things that have no value to other places. I want to rid myself of it. I really love […]

On Boxing Day I went to my brother’s house in Lara for a family gathering. It’s the first time I’ve been there and it was great to see him and his wife and the beautiful home they have made. I enjoyed hanging out with my four brothers. It’s not that often they are altogether. They […]

It’s hard to believe it’s less than a week since Asha’s 21st. What a packed week I’ve had! It’s all been lovely and I have seen most of the people I love this week. I miss Kate and Tom today, but had Tom here this time last week for the weekend, which almost makes up […]

Today we had our breakup for school. We had breakfast together, a liturgy and then a lunch. At last! This school year is over. My office is empty at the junior campus. I think I’ve got everything completed there.
So this first day of the six weeks ahead is mine at last. When I got home […]

Friday I had a bit of a meltdown and felt overwhelmed with what seemed like too many different emotions to even be able to say what was wrong. I went home. Darin listened patiently as I spewed out all the major and minor upsets I was feeling and to be honest some of them were […]

The year 9s finished today and it went well enough. I start tomorrow working with the admin team at the new campus so I won’t be farewelling the rest of the school. It happened so quickly in the end. As it usually does in a big rush where only the important and urgent things got done. […]
