A joy to attend to separate sports days and a choir/cello concert for the kids this week. Lots of smiles and encouragement between the kids made my heart soar

As we head towards the 31st of July my inbox is inundated with leaving drinks and presentation invitations. Latest round of voluntary severance has been tough

Wow! Been at work for 4 hours today and already feels like I've put a hell of a shift in. Team brought up to speed with staffing changes in light of voluntary severance. Tough tough tough tough

Been to the Metrocentre as daughter couldn't possibly keep her birthday money any longer and it needed to be spent

You know it's been a hard class when the yoga teacher says well done at the end 👏

Finished most of the teaching reviews for my team and trying to form plans of delivering similiar but with less staff hours

Today was Roman day at daughters school. So many great outfits en route this morning. Also eldest enthused by visit from real academics from university bringing artefacts

Feeling sad for the one child in my daughters class who didn't get into the middle school she wanted
