Checking in...

Suitcase packed, reading material sorted - it can only mean one thing. I'm off on holiday in the morning. A week in Fuerteventura, beachside, is a welcome thought as I fall wearily into bed.

Those of you who teach in Scotland will have returned to work today, hopefully refreshed. I'm sure, come next week, I will feel the same.

I'm very thankful to have a job I love, working with people I like and respect and that allows me to make a contribution. My contribution, for the next week, will be recharging my batteries so I can fulfil my happy role on my return.

And due to the wonders of Facetime my loved ones will never be more than a phone call away.

Today outof10? A sunny 9.3 ☀️❤️
