Working late

After a rainy day it turned into a fine evening so when I discovered that I had left my phone at school James and I went for a run in the car to get it and then went for a walk at the Heritage Park on the way home. When we arrived one of the janitors let us in and while we were chatting he said (pleasantly) "I usually lock your classroom last because you're always hanging about here late at night!" I thought this was very amusing. I see my main strengths at work as being hard-working and very reliable (rather than gifted and inspiring as well as hard-working like Jackie!) so I reckon that if I always do that bit extra, then I know that I am doing a good job. We enjoyed our walk in the twilight; it was nearly dark by nine o'clock. We were looking at the signs that say "Beware of ice" and reflecting that the summer is ending soon. It's amazing to think of the extremes of Scottish weather - freezing ice and snow compared to occasional sweltering sunshine!
