holding onto nuggets #1

ok - its been too long since i wrote this - i said i'd write whenever i could, and I've not done that
how can i monitor myself when i can't even keep the basics up - hey ho..

anyhow
now at a different school, woolwich polytechnic school for boys - very good school that has a good handle on its behaviour and general outlook. Had a rubbish end of day lesson, but after the weather, who can really blame them? and the class were already raised to me as a concern class anyhow. But yes, holding onto the nuggets of a day - challenging a year 11 g&t student to write differently, pushing a drama group to better levels and discussing h.Bosch's garden...

all in all a great school - now got to sort out the rest of my life - will post more on that - hopefully- tonight - get my thoughts out of my head and onto the screen:L
moving, costs, permanency/commitment, couples and other life stuff...

more to follow

"Alert the amphibious squadron"

thank you miss jolie, now, focusing back on my life

I said I would update my life, and here I am, doing such. Now. Still single, playing two job agencies against each other and getting more money from it. That's how it goes, sorry (mainly aimed at any agency reading this - they may have a link from me sending them emails from my cv etc.)
Anyhow - working in variety of schools, working out whether or not I'm really cut out for main school teaching - despite what I've been typing, I have fluctuating days of whether or not I'm suitable for it.
medicine.
possibly - would be good to have some of my mother's skills put to use - I'm sure nursing is genetic.. more than first aid wanted though...
planning for tomorrow night's cthulhu game - also doing a LARP one day event this weekend - dragonlore larp - seems to be good - anyhow
that's my spare time
not much really to report in general - just thinking lots about decisions and things needed to get sorted - not really able to discuss them here right now - nthing heavy, just not wanting to have open field day until they're formulated a bit more. needless to say, it involves a cat, a friend, some money, cthulhu, an ink pen, some travel research and my car called Mego.
hope you're well reader.
Laters

sunsets and travelling with family

at dad's.
two days ago i drove here in a hired car after delays with paperwork meant that I couldn't have car yet. so, in new upgraded hire car from 1car1 (very reasonably priced!), I spent EIGHT hours travelling up tot he lake district. yes, eight hours. 2 hours travelling across london on saturday morning - may have been less fuel if travelling at normal pace, but heck, the computer didn't know about the fifteen diferent diversions that day [nor the ineptitude of the driver to recognise a diversion sign in advance...]
so - here now - drove dad to his show in norht wales last night - and back again - had choice not to but decided would help him out AND allow for me to get more used to the car, more used to driving longer distances and also driving at night.
so, after two filling scones, a walk in grange over sands and a consideration of many differnt things, I'm here on a monday night, feeling slightly restless, slightly relaxed and glad to be with my family once more. partly want to go out though...LOL
hope you are well reader.and to matt who is hopefully reading this agin soon - my phone ran out of huice so apologies i didn't call you back - will text when back in london - which, for everyone's benefit, will be around friday

also -if i forget - don't forget everyone -
total LUNAR ECLIPSE - WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

boobies, bums, bards and alliterative b's

signed up to another ,agency yesterday. wiating on them - they offer more money and seem a bit more 'slick' in regards to the 'friendly friendly' approach of my curent agency - will see what comes about when time is right
handed in notice yetserday as well
endings and beginnings
got home after having some nice indian food and buying things to make me feel better, i went home. waiting for me was my druidry stuff. started listening to cd and fell asleep, knowing words going in somehow but ultimately will learn from it properly. have done first lesson today and set up a secondary blog to record learnings. as yet, won't make public, but be assured that it's there.
If anyone else wants to come on this journey with me, learning about druidry, speak now. we can share course materials etc and it'll be good having someone else to bounce ideas off of.
but no worries if not interested either. just watch for the growth, the change and the introspection that comes when i am allowed to think for myself about myself.
hugs to everyone reading this - there aren't enough hugs

hope you are well

fogged up 51'st

so, this is my 51'st post... yay.
fog caused my mum a problem with her driving assessment for her new job (positive thinking here) which means she'll have to resit it later.
I got stood up, ended up chatting to another guy at the bar for a bit before i left, hungry, still having not eaten, and so went to a chinese with a guy called Johan (hi Johan!)
[he was just looking at the menu, also having been stood up, by his friends admittedly, but both of us were at a loose end]

had nice food. had a nother drink or three then came back home [chatting to a group of guys who proclaimed to the train that my golden hind badge was, in actual fact, membership to 'I have a donkey-sized cock' group.... talk about universe trying to cheer me up!
Was even offered to go with them to the club, but decided against it. not really my scene and I was too knackered.
came home, had some pizza from a couple of girls on the bus [ta ladies!] and went to bed.
almost asleep when I remembered to charge my phone, came across the message:

"London's burning, or at least the bit of it called Camden"

So, finding out the details, I checke the interweb this moning and, yes indeed, Camden is burning. A pity - a great market which hopefully will rise again from the ashes, but judging from the size of the fire, unlikely for a while at least...

leaving me to do the washing, thinking about camden and the possibility that, like a few other things in London for me, it's been reduced to a pile of ashes, I'm wondering where as well as what I should be doing...
The post is weird - delayed druid stuff, delayed clubcard points... delayed sainsbury's voucher...

something i said?
