Holidays - oh happy days!

Well, as much as I had been hoping for the holidays, I have to say the utter relief that has washed over me has been great! Term two was such an incredibly busy term at school. In many ways, it felt busier than in previous years, but I don't intend to dwell on it. I really do enjoy my job and I love the colleagues in my department - as I've said on countless number of occasions. I enjoy being there, but getting sick towards the end of the term did make it very difficult.

It really is amazing how after only a couple of days away, I am beginning to feel relaxed and am really looking forward to these holidays!

I have a couple of items on the 'to do' list, one being to get back into a proper exercise routine. I find that my mood is very closely linked to whether I have had time to exercise, so yesterday I spent a couple of hours exercising and I must say I felt very good after it! I'm trying not to overdo it just yet, as I am still recovering from the cold or winter bug.

Yesterday I made the official move to the lovely 'banker's desk' in our study. My lovely husband used it for his previous business, but now that he has an office away from home, he doesn't need it. It's amazing - he's had this desk for years and he's given it to me (and fought off his many friends who wanted to buy it from him) - just shows how lovely he is! I should mention I do have quite a big desk of my own, but it's contemporary and lacks the character of the banker's desk. He uses my desk if he needs it. Works well!

For breakfast, I have just brewed some green tea and am having toast with gooseberry jam. I have always wanted to try gooseberry jam and was lucky enough to have purchased some whilst away at the Hunter Valley!

Hope you enjoy your day!
