Last day at school. Woo hoo, hurrah and yipee.
It was all most anti climaxical really, which is good I think, I’d far rather that than anything else. I spoke to Stuart twice, set up an out of office reply on my email to say ‘please be aware I no longer work for Rum Primary’, saved all my documents to a USB stick, deleted files and folders and images and quietly cleared my desk.
There is nothing about being there I will miss at all. It’s been a bleak, sorry three hours every day that I am delighted to be reclaiming. Davies and Scarlett are thrilled to have me back and I think being £350 a month down financially is a small price to pay. It gives me an amount to aim for to earn anyway with other pursuits – writing, growing, crafting.
I joined Coryla, Joss and Eve for some sweets to celebrate end of term and then walked home with Fliss and Ali. Ali seems to have decided everything has blown over which I am quite happy to run with. So I’m feeling generally okay about all of that and happy to write it off as end of term madness that I have hopefully headed off now.
Back home for lunch and a bit of a catch up with the others before going back down to the village to take part in some facebook and twitter training workshops with Lucy from Eigg. To be honest I didn’t really learn much I didn’t already know but it has given me fresh enthusiasm for trying to build up social networking stuff to support what we’re doing here.
Inbetween workshops I went home with Fliss and had a cup of tea at theirs. I discovered our diesel had come back today (due Sunday) and was down at the boatshed at the pier so hizzed down there to collect it and then went back for the second workshop.
Home just after 9pm, ready for dinner, opening the first bottle of our elderflower fizz and looking forward to some time on the croft, in the polytunnel and generally hanging out with the kids in the next few days. It feels like I’ve barely seen them this week.
