End of Term...

We're done. Very, very tired.

I worked just the morning today. It was ok, but I was glad to get home. My school does a beautiful Christingle service at the local catholic church, and it's a really nice way to finish the term. I always try to encourage people to go with me, even if like me they aren't big on Christmas, but nobody wanted to this year. I got there super early to be able to get a parking place, and for the first time in years I got one! Only downside was somebody still came and blocked me in so I couldn't get away at the end! It was a really lovely service, marred only by LOTS of noise from babies and toddlers. I know I sound like a grinch but there's always a little hubbub of background noise, but we had a full on pre-school play session happening at the back of the church with the doors wide open! It was quite distracting for those watching and especially the children reading. It was the topic of conversation afterwards as well.

Afterwards we all went back to a colleague's house for drinks. She has a beautiful home and loves entertaining. It was nice, but I was also a bit sad but I tried not to show it. I left quite early at 11:30pm, but I gathered this morning that they were still going strong at 1:30am! 

I was absolutely shattered, my legs felt shaky I was so tired. Thank goodness tomorrow is the last day....
