Even in the holidays, a Friday is a Friday. Enjoy the sun, beautiful people, and I wish you health and happiness whatever you are doing this weekend.

I did well with the booze tonight, I say to Claire, just the 2 beers. And the 2 glasses of wine, she says. And the sips of wine, I agree. And that tequila, she says. Well he brought that from America, I say. And that last rum, she says. Yep, I say merrily, fuck all tonight. .

And the boy passed his driving test. It's a wonderful thing, but brings a whole new world of worry to my door. I know he's a sensible lad, and I know there's nothing I can do, but goodness me I've got some worrying to come now. Well done Rudi toots.

And as I sit, fanta to hand and feeling truly awful, I suppose it's as good a time as any to have a long, hard look at my life choices and the coming year. Yep, that'll help my state of mind.

Sat here in Sainsbury's car park waiting for Ruud to finish his driving lesson. Hot, hung over (when will I ever learn?) and I've just had a chicken pasty that has made me feel sick. Not the best start to a day.

Stay in your fucking lane. This has nothing to do with you.
The NEU affirms its support for the independence of the Colombian judiciary as it comes under criticism from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Along with 20 Westminster politicians and 25 sister British/Irish trade unions, the NEU backs Colombia's justice system in the case of.

Sometimes there's nothing else for it, but to get yourself a cheeky gin, sit in a sunny park, and watch the world go by.

There's always one frantic violinist, head snapping and elbows wild, whom I worry will pass out, or snap their violin in a rage and walk out chucking parts of it at the audience.

Guess where I am. I always know I'm going to love it and hate it equally. The thing that always stays with me is the amount of people who have an overwhelming sadness or desperation in their eyes; so many lost souls. Or maybe that's just me. View from the room is nice though.

Listen, I say to Claire, no matter how much I beg, no matter how much I scream, or cry, or sob, no matter how much pain I'm in, DON'T let me open a bottle of wine tonight. Right, she says.

I'm retweeting because you should get a copy; I don't need one as I already have it. Get it.
It's the summer holidays, which means that I have **two copies** of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply **retweet** this tweet for your chance to win a copy. I will pick two winners on Sunday 17th August. Good luck!

It's about this point in the holiday when I realise 6 weeks isn't really that long at all.

People still banging on about pens and whether those that don't have them should be jailed/hugged/garotted or whether giving them one makes you evil/heroic or by not doing you're evil/angelic or the school should support teachers or society implodes or something. Christ.

I'm impressed they knew I was coming, but I thought it a bit rude to shout at me though.

Final walk of the week. Bit miffed with the one person I saw walking her dog for clogging the place up (she could have waited til I'd gone) but I'll forgive her. Just glorious quiet and space and soothing of the senses. I bet everyone is glad I'm back at home tomorrow.

And the river was lovely. If I was going to give one bit of advice to teachers, whatever their role, it would be to get out and walk. It gives you time to think, put things into perspective, and you are then able to organise your thoughts. You see clearer, if that makes sense.
