Jitterbug

I always want to relish autumn but… Continue reading 6 Weeks

A long day at work including a three hour open evening (in which I talked to two of my year 11s and realised they actually like my subject and me as their teacher - a revelation!) has been followed by a fantastic dinner out with… Continue reading Work Eat Sleep

Drinking: Nice coffee Listening to: Mumford and Sons, Into the Wild Soundtrack, Eddie Vedder's Ukulele Songs and any song played on Friday Night Lights Reading: Trying to decide what to read next after finishing Gone Girl last night.
