byslantedlight...weird weekend. It started well - will hopefully end well - but I went to bed at about 1am this morning and found myself awake around 2.30am and couldn't get back to sleep after that! I eventually gave up and got up and watched it get light, but now I'm sleepy and don't dare go to bed cos I won't sleep tonight. Ack!
I did go off for a wee wander yesterday though, to Stourhead, which was feeling very pagan in the winter light. There were giants of trees...
...and pools and groves...
...and grottos where lurked silent gods...
There were robins zipping about too, and snowdrops...
In other news I've been very good this morning and have pulled apart my old teaching practice folder (1989!) for recycling. It was interesting to look through, and if I'd carried on in that direction it would be worth keeping, and I was always interested in my mum's old nursing notes and things, but I don't supposed I'll go back to anything in education where I need those lesson plans etc. now, and I'm clearly not going to have kids who might want to look at them and go Ew, why'd d'you keep that? so... I should choose shelf-space over keeping-old-work... But I hate throwing away things like that - so many times it has turned out that I've wanted something I've chucked away, to compare with something more modern or whatever... *but is brave and determined*
Okay - I'm off to carry on staying awake. I hope you're having good weekends!
