quietly celebrating...

It's Friday...the close of Term 3 remote learning...
And I'm quietly celebrating...
with a gift of wine from a friend...
So glad I kept her gift for a special occasion...
Today is that day...
I'm exhausted...totally...
Thank you dear friend...🍷🍷🍷 pic.twitter.com/xgCl2Kdo0W

Made it...just...is certainly the right call...The last few weeks have been draining, trying to get my students over the line...Lots of encouragement for them...lots of worry for me...But, I've enjoyed some celebration wine tonight...Tomorrow I'll face that outstanding marking...

a little gardening...

a little gardening then
sipping wine
in an afternoon breeze
there's more to life than
computer screen chains #tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo pic.twitter.com/ItAFF5oTdF

This was me after a hectic day of online remote learning...My head was spinning...I couldn't face another email or marking for at least 24 hours... It was so lovely, in the autumn late afternoon sun, to do a little weeding followed by a quiet wine...
