Hi all,
Just a quick one from me tonight. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has read my little blog. I didn't start writing again to gain notoriety (that said, I don't think I'm that high on the Blogasphere's Ones to Watch list!) or to drawl on about a bunch of stuff that no one is really interested in. I write for myself. As a teacher it is so hard to find things that are easy but fulfilling to do. I'd love to say I read reams of books, like I know some of my more noble colleagues do - but that would be a lie. I spout all this lovely advice to my students on the value of reading and have all these wonderful books lining my shelves - but can I really say I've read.. even half... of them. Sadly, no. I will one day! I think I am like an Egyptian, I will save all my books up and build myself a little book pyramid and when I die, they will go with me to the next life; where I shall have much more time to sit and read them because I'll be dead. Ahhh... Morbid bliss.
The difference with writing is that everything you read here is already going on inside my head. Instead of me having to interpret what was going on inside someone else's head, I can just open up and let you in. Some people have said that the inside of my head must look very funny considering some of the outpourings they have read so far - maybe it is? Unfortunately for me, it's the only head I know - so I just have to get on with it I guess.
I hear you again gentle reader: "what's all this got to do with thanking us. I thought we were here to be loved and admired for the silent beauty that we are!"
And you are. Without your support, some known and others not, I wouldn't choose to continue to write. You are the driving force behind these witterings you see. So you can't blame me. You brought it on yourself... Besides, after the few rather embarrassingly lovely comments that I have been given, I am a little scared to stop and let you all down...
Today an Assistant Head job opened up in my school. I thought of applying just for the craic of it. Sitting in the interview where you have to prove amazing results and saying "Well if you just ignore those ones, then I'm golden aren't I?"
..yes, maybe one to leave in my head...
