Back on the couch again...

Well,

After a few days away visiting family for Easter, we are back home in Bendigo and having some fairly lazy days enjoying the beautiful Autumn weather that Bendigo never fails to produce year after year. It never fails to amaze us each year how glorious it is here at this time of the year.

My surgery on my dodgy shoulder has now been done, now is the rehab time so I'll be using the next week and a half of my holidays resting it and getting ready for the next term of school.
The doctors at the hospital I was a patient at were very concerned about another dvt episode in the post recovery period after my experience late last year, so they kindly gave me a few needles before I travelled home in the car and made sure that I had a nice pair of socks to wear with my thongs, always a great look!

As you can see, the pressure socks are a great look, and I have a great view out the window on a beautiful Autumn day.

The next few days will be spent on the laptop preparing for school as my Co-Deputy Principal is now on maternity leave, and our Principal is taking some well deserved long service leave for three weeks.
After my four weeks overseas I have a fair bit of catching up to do, so this forced rest is probably a good thing for me anyway. The only thing that will bug me intensely will be the lack of exercise, so I'm hoping that by tomorrow I'll be able to get out for a walk at least.



While my wife and I were wandering around the streets and lanes of Melbourne earlier in the week, we stumbled across a small gallery that sold all things Dr Seuss. The prints that were on display were all limited edition and stamped with certificates of authenticity and were just beautiful. We would have loved to have bought a few...until we saw the prices!!
Just a small one not much bigger than an A4 piece of paper, unframed was more than $400!! Framed was about $200 extra, but they were great.
As for the larger ones that were life size, I'd hate to think what they would cost, clearly in the thousands.
BUT...if I win Lotto, I'll be back there in a flash.

Just a sample of what was on offer.

 And to finish off this post, I saw this photo online today and just love it.
I posted it on our school Twitter feed with the caption "What is the first thing that comes into your mind when seeing this?"
Hopefully it will get parents and their kids talking about it, which is my objective.
I just love posting photos and images that I hope will elicit responses and generate genuine inquiry with kids.

Until my next post...

Cheers!
