Saturday news

I had a great time last night with my maths colleagues. We went out to a pub sort of near the school and ate and drank and talked all night. (We don't want to be too near the school--who wants to see student on your night out?) Ant came along as well after work (a 1.5 hour journey to get there!) and met some people. It was excellent to chat. A bit of moaning about marking, students who aren't inquisitive, management, workload, etc, are all standard teachers' topics. But we talked about other parts of life too and celebrated two colleagues who are leaving. It feels like I might make it to the holidays intact-- seven teaching days to go. It has been a long and tiring term.
