One more week of this term left and then two weeks holiday. The last few weeks have gone by very quickly which is a little disturbing but it’s all good. We’ve moved back into the bedroom now. It’s a lot more comfortable and looking good.
I’m enjoying school at the moment. I get to give students a hard time and pass on my thoughts and opinions to what is effectively a captive audience. Sucks to be a student in my class I tells ya. Hell, being a co-worker probably isn’t all that good. I think it’s time to tone back on the extra bits I do at school and get back into the teaching side more heavily. I am keen to start tidying up some of the projects just completed for next year. It’s an ongoing thing I guess.
I see the cost of a season pass on our ski fields has gone up somewhat amazingly since I last went up. Luckily for me I stopped being able to afford skiing in NZ quite a few years ago. It’s cheaper and more fun to go to Norway. Better skiing as well. Actually as a country we’d better be a little careful about our pricing. We are starting to alienate the locals in favour of tourists which seems like a slippery slope to me. Piss of the locals at your peril. We might just decide to mess with your kids or loosen that nut on the ski lift. Lovely stuff.
Winter in NZ…but it seems much the same in the UK. Global warming is a bitch eh? At least it’s just cold here at the moment. We haven’t had a tornado or tsunami or anything….yet.
