Well, another week almost over.
It's been a strange one for sure. Feel like a lot of things could have gone better and yet I am still feeing optimistic. It's frustrating when students don't go as fast as you would like and seem not to understand the time left and how much they have to do.
Archery tonight. Quite looking forwards to it as my shoulder is feeling much better. It's odd because I should be feeling tired, everyone else is. My colleagues have gone to the pub for a quick pint which they haven;t done in well... years if ever. I would have gone but I have to pick up the Mrs and get to Archery early tonight.
Easter rushes towards us and all I can hope is that I can get my students thorugh everything they need to do. I'll drag em kicking and screaming if I have to.
I love teaching.

Six months!
Well the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. One post in September 09, and now here’s another in March 10. So what’s been happening? I have been doing a lot of artwork. My London Art college course is almost over and I feel like I’ve learned a lot. To put it in perspective, last year my art was like this:
The last piece I did was this:
I hope it’s not just me who can see a big improvement.
It’s been a great time learning more about the craft of drawing. I am definitely going to keep things going.
In other life is generally pretty good though it’s interesting to note the gradual deterioration of my bodily systems. Every year seems to bring a new ache in a new joint. Arthritis is definitely going to figure prominently in my future, though with my family history that’s not a big surprise.
I have been doing more writing. One of the big events of last year was completing NanoWrimo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) I managed to bash out over 50,000 words in 30 days and was really chuffed. It’s a fun novella I have written and I like it a lot, though it’s now going to need a heavy duty going over to make it into something readable to anyone other than me. Watch this space.
Well, it’s nearly lunchtime and Thursdays are incredibly busy days so I must gran the chance to get some real food.
I’ll try and come back in something less than 6 months time.
Ciao.
