Cuppa time

Day 1, Term 4

As often happens at the start of a term, I feel some kind of restlessness beforehand. I didn't go to bed until after midnight then was up a bit after 5.30am. The strange thing though was that when I woke I had a tough time knowing just where I was! ("Um - you're at home!" "Ooh - so I am") I was sure I was in the van but couldn't quite place the town I was in. I must have been in a seriously deep sleep immediately before I woke I guess.

A typically busy first day made all the more so by a temporary promotion due to a colleagues sickness. It all happened pretty quickly at the end of last term and I hardly had time to get my head around things. The arrangement is a mirror of Term 2 so at least I'm going in with my eyes wide open. And it means G can rest and recuperate knowing that things at work are being looked after well in his absence. Rest easy G - take your time and get well soon.

In order to ensure I feel a little more in control I stayed at work pretty late for me. It ended up being a 12 hour day. I won't be doing many more of those! I'm feeling the need for sleep right now!

What a great way to relax when I did get home - a cuppa, the paper and a nice choccy biscuit.

Sweet :)
