1 Back to school (a sea of possibilities)
2 Reading: Bel Ami - Guy de Maupassant
3 Watched and watching: Alone Australia season 1, and season 3.
4 Listening: Queen on Fire -Live at the Bowl
5 Feeling icky: stopped watching Dance Moms
More on this on Wozza's Place next week. Watch for it.
Overtime:
Be forgiving with your past self. What's done is done. Take the lessons with you and release the guilt.1 Second week of the study break:

The first week of the study break kicked off with me marking students' work, this second week ended with planning my five classes for the next 6 weeks. That's a good feeling!
2 Watched: Alone UK and Alone Australia
We finished watching season 2 of Alone Australia (started while at Mabelle and Gav's gaff) and then moved onto season 1 of Alone UK. Slight change for that one with 11 ordinary Brits surviving/ lasting from 4 hours to 30ish days. Brilliant!
3 Reading: God Only Knows (The story of Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys and the California myth) - David Leaf
I've read this in an earlier edition when I borrowed a library copy years ago, but I had to buy this 2024 version while visiting Santa Rosa (Copperfields Books). Good to reread given the recent passing of Brian.
4 Listening: Procol Harum Live in Concert
5 Reading: The Visitor - Lee Child
I'm pretty sure I've also read this one years ago but that's the great thing with his books - because of the frothiness and easiness of the style, you can reread and enjoy them all over again. This is a great study break book.
Overtime:
"Focus on the seeds, not the trees. What seeds are you planting today?"
