We are mutating faster than ever
Elongated thumbs and extended necks
Are we becoming more stupid or clever
As we homogenise into a single sex?
Reversal has never been possible
The eggs have already been fried
So we must hold ourselves responsible
And measure all the things we’ve tried
Paradoxically or not, great ideas come more easily from people who are not paid to have them.

Gratitude Journal
I am so happy and grateful that my body tells me when to slow down and that I am able to rest when I want.
Feeling pretty good again today. It’s definitely helped by the reaction I get from students. When they are disruptive and noisy, I guess maybe I’m taking it as a failure, although I do understand that all my students also have their own things going on in their young lives.
Anyway, this morning, I could feel quite a few students really getting to grips with understanding some of the things I’m doing with them. That absolutely improves my mood. So my task is to not take it too much to heart when the opposite occurs.
This afternoon we have our second club meeting and I need to prepare some things in the hope that it goes smoothly.
I put my Launchkey keyboard on my desk last night with a plan to study about it for a few minutes each night. Still thinking about the room arrangement at the moment.
Busy getting work permit stuff together so not sure how much free time I will have. Let’s see.
