I walked the long way round to work; it was so beautiful outdoors.
The weather's been cold and sunny for almost the whole break, and it's predicted to stay that way for the next week or so. Gorgeous! (Albeit chilly; it's supposed to get down to minus 6 tonight). Apparently there's a high pressure system that's stopping our normal warmer, wetter, weather from arriving. Long may it last! I love this weather; bright cold is infinitely more enjoyable than grey sogginess.
It felt quite odd being back at work after the break. Unfamiliar and strange, and also rather exhausting. First days are generally hard for me - I came home with a splitting headache. We cooked a really yummy supper though (stir-fried veggies and rice and satay sauce) and it was so nice to sit at the table and unwind with the family. I missed them all today; we've all been together for most of the past sixteen days and today we all had to go our separate ways.
Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm properly into the swing of things at work again. I hope my studentss are all revising madly right this second; they write their first AS exams on Thursday and Friday and most of them seem far too relaxed for my liking. I am pretty sure that I'm a lot more wound up about these exams than they are!
