| Bound for South Australia | June 19, 2012 | It’s my last day of work for nearly a week. Yes that’s right. At what has turned out to be the most hectic time of year I am going away on holidays and to a conference. In some ways it will be a relief to set my out of office messages and lock the door […] |
| holidays: I’m doing them wrong | August 12, 2011 | So this week I have officially been on holidays. All that really means is that I didn’t go into work (except for Tuesday and Thursday for an hour each time). Unofficially, I have been answering work emails, putting out little work fires, responding to questions from students, looking at drafts of their first assessments, taking […] |

| I have a dream | July 11, 2011 | Tomorrow in class we look at writing for different audiences as a start to the students thinking about the purpose of their writing, their choice of words, the need to communicate clearly etc. The examples we use are part of this speech, which still gives me goosebumps, together with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

| In the words of The Doctor | June 8, 2011 | These are my new shoes. They are stripey and colourful. In the words of The Doctor, stripey and colourful shoes are cool. Trust me. It’s either that or they are the equivalent of wearing a bow tie. You decide. |

| rekindled | I am on my 15 minute break between piano students so rather than do anything really productive like my assignment (because let’s face it takes me 15 minutes to get all my books and papers out and organised) I thought I might write a little blog post.
