Follow my blog with Bloglovin Let me begin with a clarification. By bewaring the ‘creep up’ I am not referring to your underpants or the weird fella down the street with the dodgy van. By ‘creep up’ I am referring to those things in life that sneak up on us, practically unexpected (I would like…

Day 25: I Confess #28daysofwriting
Today I am struggling to fit in the #28daysofwriting challenge. It is Thursday and I am tired. Not just a little bit tired but a huge amount of tired. It is coming up to the end of week four of term one, and I have already lost count of how many 12 plus hour days…
Life is Short – Don’t Buy a Nana Car
I have been busy. I know, I know, that sounds like something I always say, but this time, its not ‘work’ busy, but ‘personally’ busy. I have had to replace my car. I have been putting off replacing my car for quite some time. Some people say buying a new car (and let me…
Leadership Loneliness
Leadership Loneliness I met with a colleague today. Call it a critical friend session, sharing of ideas, solving of all things to do with writing in classrooms and senseless data collection and of course, an opportunity to share and offload.

Stolen – The Lost Girls of Nigeria – The Worlds Shame
I have been stewing for a few weeks. Not the kind of stewing that involves cooking, but the kind of mental stewing whereby ones growing indignation and frustration with a situation grows and festers like a suppurating wound. It has left me wondering – let me explain. Something horrific happened in the world several weeks…

Beware the Sheep that Howls
Have you noticed how life seems to have quite a number of wolves in it, cheerfully running around the world masquerading as sheep? They come in all shapes, sizes and guises. With an election year on the horizon, I no doubt that there will be all kinds of new Canui Lupis pretending to be…
