Welcome back. Dry for the moment but rain is coming. Hope everyone had a good break and now ready for an exciting term 3. May your staff treat you with the respect and admiration you deserve.

Freezing in Gippsland. The teachers and students leave doors open.

We are dry for today. I don't think the ground has been dry since last year! PD week for staff this week. I have just finished cleaning off a bench top that hasn't been cleared since before I started here 18 months ago! It is a MARVELLOUS feeling!

I get that Rosalie .Quiet day here so hoping to find mine too . :whistling2:

It was a PL day for us yesterday . We had a Mid North Coast Labbies get together after 2 years of not being able . It was great to see old faces and greet the new ones .

Not looking forward to this term . 2/3rds of our science teachers have left so there are a lot of casuals . :-( :-({|=

We used to have an excellent labbies network up in Tamworth when I was there. I am yet to find one where I am now (Port Stephens area). The schools are all too far apart I think!

I hope your casuals are good to you!

Can you believe it? Came down with covid in the first week. First hubby and son on the Wednesday - hubby and I were away camping and had to come home. I tested positive on the Friday. And don't believe all this talk that covid is just like a head cold. Worst sore throat I have ever had - couldn't talk, sleep, eat or eventually even drink. Had to get my #1 to ring the Health Direct line for help then had to call on a friend to go to the chemist as we were all in iso.
Back at work today, PD week for us and I am really struggling. Really take care. These new variants are terrible.

Hubby and I had covid in the holidays too. Definitely NOT the way to spend the holidays :redcard:

Mine was like a headcold and I just wanted to sleep all day.

His was more flu-like, with aches and pains, headaches, stomach pain and felt like he had sand or grit in his eyes. Nearly 3 weeks later he is only just starting to feel a bit better. Of course I couldn't resist calling it 'Man Covid' :whistling2: :-o

I probably shouldn't have laughed but I did!

It is crazy how it hits people so differently. It took me months to get over the fatigue.
