A nice quiet Saturday
Posted Jun 26, 2010
It is so weird waking up on a Saturday morning and knowing that even though I have things that need to be done they dont actually have to be done either today or tomorrow because for 7 whole weeks my time is my own to work when I want and to play when I want ( well it will be once I have taught the last class on Tuesday).
What I need to do in no particular order is :-
Assess the folder for Wednesday
Contact C and K re assessment visits in July ( and then tell Hilary)
Prepare lesson for Tuesday on Health and Safety
Type up lots of meeting notes and redo assessments and e mail them to the students
Write up my refelctive account on operational plan ( ooh have to write operational plan first)
Type up last assessment
It is a good job that I can tell the difference between the different types of assessments that I need to work on. We are very good at using one word with several meanings in English.
The week ahead looks like this
Monday
Working at home in the morning
Montrose afternoon and evening
Tuesday
am Dundee ( and need to go to SSSC for leaflets)
pm working at home
Wednesday
Anthony Gormely scuplture walk
pm Assessment visit in Galashiels
Thursday
Stirling all day
Friday
I havent decided yet but should really work on my SVQ if I havent already done any earlier in the week
I think I will try to work as much as possible this week seeing as I do still have some structured work to do ( Stirling break up SO early) and can then go more into downtime mode the other weeks.
I want to make really good use of this summer. I dont think I have ever had a summer without going on holiday so have never had this amount of time to play with.

I am so glad that it is the end of term as the last few weeks have been so busy
Over the summer I want to lose weight and up my exercise, finish my SVQ 4 and relax and recharge.
Today I have a rather nice day ahead
Couple of meetings first thing
Seeing R ( and hoping to go out to the Smith cafe for a cuppa)
Going to see the new ROSC premises
Popping in to the smoothie making workshop at Fallin
Meeting with Anne re my SVQ 4
Going to see Nick Cave at the Book Festival
I took Finn for a lovely walk late last night. He is so easy to take out now.

Chris is back, Anthony Gormley tonight
Posted Jun 22, 2010
Well the boy got back late last night and came and regaled us with tales of his trip. He had the most brilliant time in Denmark. I must remind him that if he is coming to see Nick Cave with me on Friday that he needs to be off work again.
It is a nice morning if a bit misty
This morning I will go to Dundee for my class
I will then come home and eat lunch
I will then go to Stirling for a bit
Then I will drive to Edinburgh and go to a talk ( having met Bill)
After that we will go and eat somewhere
Tonight we will sleep at the TL at Edinburgh airport
Tomorrow morning I will be up at the crack of dawn and be off to London
Bill will then go and meet Barry and Mike who are up here cycling so that will be nice as he hasnt seen Mike for ages.
Tomorrow night I will be home and no doubt totally shattered.
