Pic of the week 21/2/21
And so half term draws to a close …
Nothing major to write home about – after all, we’re still in lockdown 3, so there’s not much you can do – but I definitely needed the week off.
I’ve run a few times – did another 10K today: little/no wind and on the flat sections was starting to post a semi-respectable time.
On Thursday Becky & I went for a long (10K) walk – very pleasant, and even enjoyed some warm spring sunshine on the skin. But, about fifteen minutes from “home” (the car) the sky went black and hail lashed down. It was painful – particularly when a blob of ice would strike the tip of an ear!
On the whole, the weather has warmed up this week, but it has been fairly wet throughout. However, when the rain stays away you do get a sense that spring may be round the corner – the days are lengthening and bushes and trees are starting to bud up.
The decision has been made to shorten this term by a week and add it on to the summer term. So only four weeks more of the groundhog of remote teaching: coupled with the improving weather, a sense of hope is beginning to permeate my world. (Although the 7 week first half of the summer term will be long!)
