I'm being careful and following all hints on TTing safely. I could manage without TT, I suppose, but TTing gives one more options. I could live without the GQs but they are fun too.

I retired last June but the day before the last day of the summer term, the new English teacher phoned to say she wouldn't start after all. So muggins here was conned/persuaded to return after the summer for 3 months. That was hard. I didn't get my own class back and found it less than motivating to get to know 100 new kids when I knew I'd be leaving soon.

So now I've been retired for 9 months. It's weird, for ages I kept waking at 6,15 thinking I had to rush. I never had time to relax in the evenings with planning classes and marking tests and essays. Now it's better, adapted to a new rhythm. It's nice to be able to drive to the cabin when everyone else isn't !

Most people I know find it strange and miss their jobs to begin with. It's a good thing to have some hobbies or projects waiting, and it's sooo nice to watch rubbish on daytime TV without having a bad conscience. My favourites are Supervet, Grey's Anatomy, Old Poirot epeisodes, Vera and Location, Location, Location.

Let me know if your nneds for passes changes.
