Down around the corner, half a mile from here, see them long trains run, and you watch them disappear (Doobie Brothers)

Doing it tough at the moment - reading messages from NZ colleagues who are now on holiday until the end of January, while embarking on the final push towards the end of the Autumn term. 

Good on ya my peeps!

Sadly, it's a different picture for me - having arrived at the tail end of the long British summer, I'm on a lengthy run of two winters in a row with an autumn thrown in for funsies.

This term has been a long train running, with a mid term break coming as welcome relief, but still - it's 15 weeks long! 

Basically, like many people at school, I'm ready for a holiday!
