There is almost one time that is important - Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.
Leo Tolstoy
Each morning when I come into school I reflect on the fact that I have only a limited time left.

Word on the grapevine says that interviews for the new teaching position will be held 23rd August.
I have had no official word and there is no guarantee that I will even get an interview. It is over 3 months since I found out the jobs for the new school to replace us were being advertised. It is 2 months since I sent in my application.
It is certainly a strange sort of limbo to be in. No matter what happens I should be all right for a year from now financially, but after that I will need some sort of plan. As soon as I know I don't have a position with the new school I will begin some private tutoring. It is years since I have done any tutoring but I quite enjoyed it. My area of interest is spelling and reading difficulties.
We are doing a simple experiment at school to test how certain plants fare without soil, water,or light. There is a plant under the box that is living without light.

Polyanthus seem to be quite hardy flowers. After 5 days it doesn't seem to have made much difference to the experiment as to whether they are the control plant or not. All seem to be faring very well - even the plant under the box. Maybe I should have chosen something a little more sensitive.

We have about 30 jumpers that the staff have made. The students didn't manage to complete any themselves but they added bits here and there.

I hope all goes well with your job and that you get an interview. The jumpers are very cute. What a great idea.
