Teacher, parent, devoted catanddogslave & all round nerd. Likes to cook, read, take photos, and to yell at the TV occasionally.
Joined April 2011
Pretty bloody sick of smug morning people ‘oooh I’ve been for a 20 km walk while you’ve been sleeping in’. And? So? I’m at my most productive at night but you don’t hear me carrying on about it and being all judgemental. And besides I’m on holidays and I’ll sleep when I want.

Eventful code brown on yard duty today. After I’d dismissed kids’ reports of poo on the ground with ‘oh it’s probably just possum poop’, I investigated & it was most definitely of human origin. As I dry retched & moved kids away, another poor kid projectile vomited at my feet.

I just finished listening to the boarded up theatre of the mind that is Shaun Micallef’s ‘Preincarnate’ (narrated by him) and though I could barely follow the time travelling plot, I laughed out loud many, many times. He’s a genius. 👏

Meet Floss, 8 weeks old and as cute as a button. She’s wiped out after a day of playing chasey with the cat. #westie

Watched a bit of the Logies last night so I could see Magda’s tribute, and then, slumped on the couch in a stupor, what do I hear but ‘Hazard’ by Richard Marx. It has been a long time but still a great song…remembered every word! #old

About to wrap up a very lovely 5 weeks gallivanting about Europe with 4 nights in Vienna. Can’t stop singing https://t.co/xqlzPG1fcH

Met a teacher today whose boss won’t let their staff have a seat or desk in their classroom. If they’re teaching, they have to be standing. And they wonder why teachers get the shits and leave the profession.

Big Gen X energy at The The concert tonight. All us oldies getting our seats mixed up, guy in front of us getting cranky at people talking (rightly fkn so) and me popping voltaren due to sore back from seats. Just waiting on next set (old faves) and I am here for it!

Rather enjoying the remake of #TheDayOfTheJackal and great soundtrack too, but I’d love to rewatch the original - my dad loved it and I remember watching it and loving the suave Edward Fox.

As I live and breathe, I never thought I’d see the day when the demented kitten calmed down enough and the elderly dog accepted a 2 hour cuddle together.

I guess if we can’t have Mad As Hell we can see its alumni on stage. Fabulous! 🥰

As part of my ongoing quest to indoctrinate my students with quality TV instead of watching the garbage they see on YouTube, today we watched a couple of clips of Guy Smiley, America’s favourite game show host. They loved him and begged for more!

My Year 2 class had a FaceTime with my eldest today. Long story but they wanted to see his tattoos. They were very funny and their usual boisterous selves. Just got this message from my son, who maybe now might appreciate how exhausting dealing with kids all day is! 😂

Had to drive through Melbourne’s most terrifying roundabout on Royal Parade not once, but twice today. Multiple lanes and many exits, traffic lights, a tram running through it, flags in the middle…the photo does not show true scariness but was definitely designed by a sadist! 😨

Did she just say ‘Moditerranean’? I’m an occasional watcher and I swear if there’s another mash up like ‘Japandi’ 🤮 #TheBlock
