One particularly momentous event happened today. I handed in the form to say that I would not be re-contracting for the 2011-2012 period. I wrote a note for my principal explaining that I didn't want to leave, and that I really like being here, but that I have to head onwards for the sake of my science career. It's true, too. I miss science and I want to get back into it. So it's time to figure out what is next, and enjoy the hell out of my last 6 months.
Even thought today was Australia Day, we didn't do anything very Australian. I told all of my kids that today was the big day, and made them all say "G'day, mate" in class. For homework, they had to say it to someone else. I wonder if any of them did it? I kinda doubt it.
Anyway, other than that, Sam and I had listened to the end of the Hottest 100 countdown on the internet and had a special Australia Day supper - Tim Tams and Milo. Nothing else very Australian went on. They were very good Tim Tams, though - we did the sucking up warm milo through the biscuits to make them go melty thing. Ahhh, the taste of home.
Food Highlight of the Day: A Tim and a Tam.
