Well this post has been made more recently after my last post than later, that's a big change!!
I'm now into my 4th week of long service leave, and it's still not eventuating how I expected, but I'm not complaining at all.
My days are still busy and I'm always finding something to do. The best thing is that I'm really having quality exercise time, and not rushing it, and I'm getting into it each day.
If anything, I am now relaxed, which is what I definitely needed after last year. I dropped my wife off to her school this morning (Sunday!!) as she, her two Principals and two other staff are using their day off to clean the place up and sort files.
Who says teachers have it easy??
I mentioned to them that the thing I've really noticed lately is just how much time I'd spend at school after hours or on weekends, and doing work at night.
I really feel like I'm doing nothing at times as I'm not replying to the hundreds of emails a week, phone calls and teachers ringing in sick.
Don't miss it one bit!!!
But this could soon change, as I was recently interviewed for a teaching role at a number of Secondary schools here in Bendigo, catering for children in years 8-10 who are really struggling in maths.
A day later I got the call to say I had been successful, now I'm just going through the 14 day waiting period where other candidates can challenge the selection. It's a system in place with our Govt schools, something new to me but that's just the way it goes.
I'm excited about the position, as it starts just after my LSL finishes, and is something that I'm quite passionate about.
Stay tuned!!
So what else is going on?
Well, last week I got back into a hobby of mine...
Home brewing is something I've been doing for about 25 years, so this is the first batch I've made since we moved into the new house. I managed to get some barrels done while I was cooking tea, not sure if my wife was convinced that my main focus was on her dinner!!
And here they are happily bubbling away in the laundry!
And this is how I relax with a cold one after an energetic day!!
Recently a friend challenged me to tell something about my life through 7 black and white photos.
No names, no words, no people, no explanations.
So, rather than try and explain each photo, have a look yourself, and if you are a regular reader, or know me well, they'll need no explanation.
If you are new to my blog, then perhaps you might like to try and work out what makes me tick!
Well Readers,
The next few weeks will be busy as we hopefully have renovations starting on our house (just found out it needs re-stumping first...Ouch $$!!) and I'm also planning some trips to visit some friends I haven't seen in a long while.
So,
Until my next post...
Cheers!!
