Getting by thanks Gillian. Work load & pressures are keeping me on my toes so feeling alittle tired but be worth it in the end. How are you? Oli & yourself keeping well?
We're so-so. Rather bored. Moreover, the HOT weather is having its negative effects on Oli. :( He's been inactive and restless lately.

Can't sleep! I'm obsessing over tortoises. My addiction isn't drugs but drugs would be cheaper!!!
Hope you got some kip in the end Whitney. :)
Tortoises are not cheap to set up, but after that it's not too bad as long as you avoid vet bills, though the electricity bills can be a killer.

What does that entail, if you don't mind me asking ?
Good afternoon, Linda.:)
Can't go into too much detail about today as it was 'staff-related'.

In general, I am part of a team of governors of a school. Together we have responsibility for ensuring that public money is effectively spent and that the school is providing the best possible outcomes for its students.

A lot of it is data driven: Understanding pupil and finance data, checking evidence substantiates what we're told and challenging where necessary.

We get to do the nice things at school events, but sometimes we also have to be part of an independent panel deciding whether a headteacher has recommended the right action with regards to staff or students.

It's a voluntary role that I have done for around 9 years now. I have been Chair, but have stepped back to Vice Chair last September to grow new talent among the governors.

It all sounds terribly serious, and I suppose it is, but I really enjoy it.
