Day 227 - Cold, Bleak...the 70s

Sunday November 29th

My disciplined weekend continued with an early morning run in the rain (tick), some diy (tick) and some more work (tick). No sport as it continues to rain without interruption. I did some ironing and finally got to see The Damned United. Very very good, not only the acting but it captured the era (early 1970s) brilliantly. What a cold, bleak time in this country's history.

Three weeks left of term and I can understand why the experienced teachers say this is the longest and hardest term in the year. The kids are definitely tired and it is harder and harder to keep them on task. I am actually looking forward to the next few weeks and then Christmas with the Nichols family in our new house. Should be fun.

Day 220 - More Indolence

Sunday November 22nd

I actually think this weekend of rest has done me a world of good. I couldn't even rouse myself for a run. The guilt was there and it certainly puts pressure on me for the week ahead but I felt like I'd earned a break. Mrs N and the kids went to the Farmers Market in the pouring rain and I stayed back with great intentions to do some work. I was still lying on the sofa when they got home. Oops.

The weather has been terrible. It feels like it's been raining non-stop for weeks and any minute the Ark is going to arrive to pick everyone up. All football has been cancelled for the last few weeks so Ted has been bouncing off the walls
