We have all been very tired this half term. I'm not entirely sure why, but it doesn't seem to have just been me walking round wondering what planet I'm on! I always worry about talking about the long hols you get in education, (people who have kids don't want to put up with their kids for so long, those who work think we're just lazy, as on average you just get 26 days as holiday entitlement, depending on the company you work for) but it only happens if you work term time only. Members of my team (Admin) are working, and will just get a fortnight off, and then need to be back because they are directly involved with processing the exam results (GCSE and A Levels) as the school receives them. I am very lucky to get all the time off that I do, but I will be going in at some point towards the end of the hols, and that will be because I feel I need to. I do not get paid for that. I am looking forward to relaxing, seeing friends who I don't always get time to see, and to going on holiday to Lyme Regis (on the South Coast) for a fortnight this time, which we have never done before. I do not remember ever going on holiday for that long! Me and mum will also be going to Greenbelt of course, toward the end of the hols (we've got a new tent! Now we need to work out how to put it up! Wish us luck!), and on 3rd August ( not far away now) I will be 32! Georg Ganswein will be 56 on 30th July! He's caught up with my mum at last!
