Back to work, back to reality (plus a new freebie!)
As a first version, I’m very glad that Soul II Soul didn’t go down that lyric route.
The Keep Calm and Carry Yarn freshers’ fair stall at my place of work, items are on the Todmorden temperature blanket from 2021!
I’m back to the day job today after an, erm, interesting start to 2024. (Read: a WTAF incident in real life which, if things get weirder, I’m sure I’ll have a chance to reflect on later this year.)
I’m rested, though, which I definitely was not at the end of last term. I’ve plotted in more breaks for this term which will be needed. I expect it will hit me like a tonne of bricks when the students return over the next couple of weeks. In one of my roles I started putting things in place for activities and events for staff and students to help balance wellbeing with study. As well as our yarn club, I have set the ball rolling for lots of activities - a new running club, a new creative writing group, the return of mindfulness monthly, and a DND group - this term should be ace.
Finally there's a new freebie in the Freebies section of this site! Want to track your writing and check off each day you manage to write? Help yourself to the pdf :-)
