So, a new broom sweeps clean and all that, we're finally having some aesthetic cleansing done.....by that metaphor I mean that the wonder Danny, has been working his decor magic in our tired old living room.
The darn thing has been "stripped and ready" for nearly 3 years, so I can't tell you how invigorating it is to see it taking shape into an inviting and calm retreat from the daily grind.
It's very plain, and what we hope will be a blank canvass to be adorned by inspiring pictures and paintings by friends and family, and of those cherished folks in our lives.
This has really kicked 2012 off for us, and I'm busy pursuing a teaching assistant role on a part time basis. This I hope will give me valuable classroom experience, and also help motivate me in the continued study of my GCSEs. A visit to the BETT show last week gave me a further boost, seeing so many enthusiastic and passionate educators in one place, and also seeing the amazing technology that is available in the classroom now. I highly recommend it, even if you're not interested in a career in education, it's truly amazing.
I met lots of old twitter friends there and some new ones, and it further cements in me that I want to teach.
For the meantime, I'll leave you with a couple of pics from our Somerset House ice skating trip at the weeken....now I really must go and hang a clock on a wall!
