It has been over 3 months since last I wrote in here, but not to worry, all is well.
I have been back teaching at school and that has gone surprisingly well, thankfully. Only 2 weeks (or less, even) till we get our Christmas holidays, and thankfully a vaccine has been approved in UK and Canada and the first people to get the vaccine got it yesterday in the UK.
School is a great way to make time fly!! The days go by, the weeks go by and I hardly feel time passing at all.
This week is all about Christmas craft and art. We will play our few Christmas songs on our recorders outside in the covered shed so the village will hear Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger, Twinkle Twinkle and In the Bleak Midwinter.
Paper plates will be painted red and homemade cards will be made. Clay stars will be decorated as Christmas tree decorations.
I am very happy to relate that I am powering through my Geologi course with Stockholm University, learning to identify metamorphic rocks among others. (Who know that eclogite existed and that it looks so distinctive: green crystals, interspersed with red - pyroxene and garnet, awesome!). I finished a module in Introduction to Biology with Uppsala University back at Halloween, phew.
There are choices to be made about what wool I will use for the English Long Draw module of the Foundation Certificate in Spinning, but that decision might wait a week or two while I try to eke out time to practice more Long Draw spinning.
The Christmas tree is up, my son is working his way through the chocolates behind the little doors on his Advent Calendar. Christmas is coming. I personally am looking forward most to the opportunity to get a walk in the winter landscape every day, in the morning.
I hope you are all well out there.
