Happy Earth Day to you too Mark - although with the way we are ruining it I don't think it's got anything to be happy about!

Ok....I’m not quite done yet, but since yesterday was Easter and today Easter Monday, i figured I’d share a progress report on the latest wooden project.
As you all most certainly recall, here was the start.
And here’s where we are today. I’m toying with adding a splash of gold leaf, then a nice final finish. But, it’s too sunny and nice to be inside...
Ok. Back outside....I have 10 bags of shredded mulch to put around our perennial garden and rose bushes.

Are you still being paid?Thanks Heather. Everyday's a holiday for me at the moment.
I was hoping to be back to work next Monday when the school hols finish, but because I don't have at least one good leg at the moment they don't want me until I'm fully mobile in case something happens and I'm injured or not able to do my job. So it may be a few more weeks yet. I'm not complaining!

Is that an egg? I could not see the first two pics.
My critters came out long enough to eat. Then went back to snoozing. I think we're three of a kind.
Every egg needs a chick or tort...just a thought...nice.
He probably is imagining...they do images first for awhile.
The pix won’t open for me.[emoji22]
Yes it's nice to be retired...but who can resist the smell of cutting wood? I can't mow but I can use a few different handsaws. It's hard work that's relaxing.
Yes thank goodness - goes to half pay after 6 months but I'll be back before then.
Interesting. This happens to me occasionally with other peeps pix. Then later, viewable.
I see them!
That's good. I feel for you. It's really hard to not be able to do a job that you love. As I remember, you are a teacher. What do you teach?
You too my friend [emoji851]
I teach in a special needs unit in a comprehensive school so that's 11-16 year olds.
My main subjects this year are literacy, numeracy, science, CDT, Welsh studies, outdoor education, social skills, but it varies and I have taught almost every subject.
There is a big emphasis on life skills in all subjects.
I do love working with the kids but the paperwork is very frustrating and takes all the joy out of it - I suspect there are many other jobs where that happens.
Arrriba!!!
Happy Monday to you too Noel.
No wonder you love your job. It's much the same trying to help my brother. A LOT of paperwork. I wish I could just concentrate on teaching him everyday living skills

Then I ended up dancing to a bunch of songs including send me an angel by real life.
