New Term but not for me

My hairdressers on Tuesday was full of wee boys getting their hair cut ready for the new school term which starts on Thursday. Apparently most young girls attend to their hair on an ongoing basis so there is not the same rush for them at the beginning of a new term. The South Lanarkshire teachers were back at work for their In Service days on Tuesday so I guess that was the first official day of my retirement. Since I finished work at the end of June I have mostly felt as if I was on holiday - especially as we have been actually away on holidays quite a lot of the time. But now my ex colleagues are back at work and it all seems very real. And exciting!
