Thursday 22 October
What a bloody mess.
It’s been a tricky day at work today. Another tricky day, managing the impact of the Coronavirus on the staff and pupils.
But this is was almost wiped from my mind by supper time. On my drive home I listened to the PM program on Radio 4 (catch up as I left late-ish again). The government has pretty much u-turned on economic support for the vulnerable employed. Last night, in parliament, the torries voted against providing free school meals for those that would ordinarily get it at school.
Then there’s the impending Brexit deal or no-deal. Negotiations have broken down then restarted, broken and restarted too many times.
Leaving school this evening, the air was pleasingly cool and the sky was kind. The moon was very present. A coot or two ‘cuks’ away on the other side of the trees, where the canal is.
I am absolutely spent right now. Glad we are at the end of the half term and that we will have a week off. We are all done in and, this coming week, I need to counter the negative news and feeling across the country with some walks in the countryside.
