Cold, cold day.
I had forgotten how cold Canberra can be. Today was one of those days, snow up in the hills, light drizzle and a bitter wind. It got colder as the day progressed. I was on playground duty; I did not have a coat, so the wind seem to go straight through me even though I had two layers on. Graham went to Adelaide today, left at 5.30 this morning and was suppose to come in at 8.30 but his flight has been delayed so he won't be in till 10 o'clock. As it is so cold he is catching a taxi home rather than me picking him up.
Jess has picked up a cold, so she has spent the day at home on the couch. She was worried about not going to school as she had a couple of assessments on but I am sure that they can be made up next week. School is starting to wind down for her, as most of the assessments are done and the reports are written. Speaking of school, I did my last day of relief today at St Anthony’s Primary. I use to work there twenty years ago; I was one of the original staff. It was great staff then, close bonds between staff members and willingness to help each other. I remained friends with most staff all those years. I saw the St Anthony’s spirit in action this week, one of the staff members lost her partner on Tuesday, the school is in mourning and has rallied around her and is providing all types of support. It is lovely to see something I was at the beginning of still remaining and working well.
