Two days to go before the holidays and exhaustion finally turned into sickness. I’ve been wandering around school like a zombie the last few weeks and not even staffroom coffee could kick me into gear. It’s been a tough term and if it had ended last week all would be well.

Still, having a day to sit in the sun is a pretty good compromise all things considered and a few weeks of holiday sweeten the deal.

I noticed yesterday, as I passed the local petrol station that the cost of petrol is now around the $2.12 mark. Last time I looked it was around $1.98. Seems to have crept up without much fanfare or maybe people have just been creeped out and gone quiet. I wonder what people are going to do when it hits $3. When will the tipping point occur? Those wheelspins I’m hearing outside our house right now must cost those guys a fortune … I wonder when people will realise those petrol tanks are filled with a valuable resource worth stealing.

Okay, now the sun is just shining in my eyes and getting all winter low on me. Must be time for a little lie down before facing tomorrow.
