Same sandwich, Same filling...

The one thing that my teaching placement has hit home, is that repetitively doing the same thing becomes interesting, and how we deal with it is also a key test of human nature... i suppose its something that everyone faces all the time within every day life, but teaching 9 different classes the same thing has really brought home just how much we all do the same stuff each day!

I dont know why i've suddenly noticed it, in a lightbulb above the head style moment... but it's really got me thinking about how we all find different things enjoyable about the same task from one day to the next, like knitting, or raking a sand garden like they do in a martial arts film, or anything else that gives someone the saint like patience to be able to do the same thing over and over again, without getting bored, and (hopefully) being able to inspire somebody else to have an interest in what it is your showing them.  

Just having a bit of a moment...

Its been a while!

So, having been a large chunk of a year since ive looked at the old blog, its time for an update!!!

having looked at the random drivvel that i've written, removed the posts about soup (really duncan???) and generally taken a trip back to last year, its time to update and continue (note to self.... ACTUALLY DO THIS THING!)

So, in the space since my last post lots has happened
