Subject: I got a new job!!!

I start at a new school in September where I will be teaching English and finishing my NQT.

The school was in special measures until a year ago. However, they brought in a new head teacher and the exam results have been going up - and discipline is a major item.

So, we shall see.

In the meantime, another few months and I will have completed the second year of my Masters. Now, there's a thought!

How's everyone else doing?

Congratulations!

Me - trying to survive the heat or summer, and got a lot of writing work to do managing 2 pen names.

Managing two pennames? That sounds very posh! What are you doing?

I write under two names - one fantasy and one contemporary.

Hope you are well, my dear. I haven't been on much as it's been so busy up to the end of term but it's the summer hols now so hopefully, I'll be around more.

Congratulations and good luck. As for me just enjoying my retirement and doing my best to stick to my budget.

Anyone else watch the Buffy marathon on Syfy the other night. It was fun seeing Graduation Day again. I really should buy the series on DVD though at some point. I forget how much I like it until I catch an ep every now and then.
Mostly I remember how unhappy I am with how Angel and Buffy ended, the arbitrary way in which characters were killed and the really awful comics that Joss continued the series with. Kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me not want to spend the money on the DVDs after all.

I was OK with the way that Buffy ended. However, I found the ending to Angel very unsatisfying. It's all very well, deciding to slay the dragon but then what? Who did what after? When? How? And then what? And I was distinctly annoyed with the way in which they disposed of Cordelia (yes, I know she was pregnant) but characters have been dealt with in a better fashion.

No, not at all satisfied.
