Oxygen by Willy Mason

July 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

I just love the lyrics of this song. My son agrees but reckons the beat is a little repetitive “Feels like I’m getting verbally ear bashed”. I don’t mind the sound myself.
I went to the supermarket after work and bumped into a number of people. One of the teachers I saw had very positive […]

Finishing Annoying Stuff

July 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Tonight I have finished up all the things I had intended to get done this weekend! So I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself about that. I even did my tax. I don’t know why I put it off…. took less than an hour. It’s so simple now with all the rollover stuff and other boring […]

Cranky Day

July 17th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Today I was a bit cranky and tired at school. I had a late night laughing with friends, which was fun, but there is always a price to be paid. I am retiring to bed early tonight to read and relax. I really appreciated the visit though last night or I would have stewed for […]

Reluctant Return

July 15th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Back at school today was harsh. It was so sunny and lovely here today, perfect leisure weather. Here is one of the photos from my trip to Albury. Glenn was making me a coffee. I like this photo because of the green ginger wine bottle. It matched the kitchen bench.
I hadn’t had that drink for […]

Home

July 8th, 2008 · No Comments

I got home in the wee hours this morning. It was a good drive although I was distracted and went in the wrong direction and found myself onĀ the damn West Gate Bridge somehow as I went through Melbourne. The last time I did that I was returning from Queensland in the early hours of the […]

Ending the Term

June 27th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I seriously think the teachers were more elated than students today as that final bell sounded. I was surprised at the reluctance of students to move out of the grounds. Granted many of them didn’t show up today though, so it was only the keen ones that were there to farewell the term.

Two More Sleeps….

June 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Until school ends for this term! We are all counting the hours at this point. I have parent teacher interviews tomorrow night. It’s been a long and hectic term. The students look tired and the teachers are wearing down. One of our teachers has ended the term today, with no remaining voice.
Tonight on bus duty […]

Can’t Believe My Luck

June 13th, 2008 · 7 Comments

My son has inherited one of my behaviours and it’s worked out quite good. Last night we had a little spat. It was due to lack of communication as we have both been a little in and out lately and haven’t caught up with each other enough. He’s doing his mid-year VCE exams and I’m […]

Too Relaxed

June 11th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Last night during my massage, I swear I woke myself up talking in my sleep. How embarrassing! It was very relaxing and when I got home, you guessed it - I was too relaxed and mellow to write any reports…..
Tonight I am making some progress on them at last. I have finished one class out […]

Fiona Apple: Across the Universe

June 10th, 2008 · No Comments

I like Fiona Apple especially the ‘Paper Bag’ song.
This clip reminded me of the sign in the takeaway shop window in town this weekend. I should have got a photo, but was in too much of a hurry. Someone in the early hours of the morning had perhaps driven through the floor to ceiling […]
