If I write today, I can sort of pretend that I am on track with the blog - keeping to my rule of a post in a calendar month. Although that's the plan, of course, things get in the way. A follower of the blog - thank you to you special 4 in particular who subscribe - you know who you are!!
Anyway, to those who look at the blog, you will see its been six weeks - so I feel I had better explain something as to the why behind that. In short; I've have the most brilliant summer imagineable. Its been like the best of the last four years rolled into one. Its also been the case, that just when I think things have ended something else positive seems to come along. A bit like the weather we've been having for example - who would have thought it - the hottest September on the last day of the month?!
I feel I should list some of what happened over the summer - so you can understand why the dear blog was not top of my mind:
1) I was given a tax rebate.
2) I bought a Tommy Hilfiger top in a sale for £25.
3) I received a bonus for the performance of one my students.
4) I had a lovely trip to Stafford - and found I love the place.
5) Found five pounds lying around on the pavement.
6) Saw the film Beginners and thought it was amazing.
7) Live in Egham for a month - for very little money - like being a student again.
8) Found a lovely place to stay in London I like the greenery especially.
9) Had a student get an A* for Psychology; and another one get an A for Critical Thinking AS.
10) Was given a piano for free on the day I moved into my new flat.
11) Was given a free ticket to a gig with Patrick Wolf - which was pretty cool.
12) Was given an all expenses paid trip to Luxembourg to teach one psychology lesson.
13) Got a new job working in another school.
14) Bought a smart phone for £40.
15) Went to an amazing Barbeque where I met many old friends - and had a lovely day.
16) Met some new friends who have been great fun.
17) Found a flat to live in; and just had the feeling 'that one' and its work out well.
18) Found a group who speak French - who I rather like.
19) Found a cultural group who I like to go sometimes.
20) Have been enjoying school work.
21) Joined a group who do laughter yoga.
22) Got recorded and interviewed to on a programme with the BBC World Service.
So, I think you'll understand why the blog has not got much attention lately.
Nevertheless, here I am, your loyal correspondant; a more developed correspondant than in May 2011. The summer of '11 was without doubt the time life started flowing!
:-)
So, I think you'll understand
