Beer, Bikes and....more beer.

I've just had a lovely weekend in Bonn with my Mum & Tony who came to visit. On Saturday we got lucky with the weather and enjoyed a day of cycling along the Rhine, complemented by a beer garden pit stop. On Sunday we got absolutely completely and utterly drenched as we cycled across town, but that was fun too!
After we dried off and the weather cleared up, we took a pleasant river cruise down to Koenigswinter and a steep train ride up to the Drachenfels. I am really glad I got one last chance to go up there and admire the view before leaving Bonn. Just before my guests left on Monday, we managed one last cool beer on Muenster Platz as the sun dazzled...perfect.

I love getting rid of stuff. I have already donated 7 bin bags of clothes and I'm not done! To use my Mum's terminology (and encouragement), I am taking a brutal approach to deciding what to take with me to Batam. If it's not essential and it doesn't have long-term sentimental value, it's got no chance. My goal is to take just one suitcase with me, so being brutal is the only way!

Where's your manners?

I've got the back to work blues after a week's holiday. After one hour back at work, I'd counted how many work days are left this year; approximately 87. I know that's actually not much, but right now it feels like a death sentence. I have no motivation to plan for teaching 60 students, or to prepare seminars for 30 teachers, mainly because no-one cares what I'm doing here, or knows how much work goes into creating a course for teachers who get paid so little for the job they do that most of them (quite rightly to be fair) put professional development very low on their list of priorities.  I realise I sound like a grumpy child. That's what arriving at work to find that my desk had been moved did to me. My back is to the window (a window to the hallway), exactly where I didn't want to be, and the previous teacher's junk has been left in a dusty pile on the floor for me to clean up.  If only it was that simple... Wanna know what else is annoyi...
