Hi kids,

Thought I'd give a we blog update. Things are going fine in the teaching world - I have a permanent job in a decent school and most of my pupils are decent kids. I think I've settled in well to the new school and the other teachers are nice. The school is a faith school, which to be honest I'm not sure I agree with, but my bank balance rules over my morals. What I cannot dispute though, is that there seems to be a lot of evidence that faith schools have better behaviour and achievement than 'normal' schools in the same catchment area.

The new job involved a move and I'm now renting a nice wee one bedroomed flat in a wee town not too far from Auld Reekie. My OH lives in Auld Reekie so that's made things a lot easier.

I'm still running but I don't seem to run as much as I used to - I'll definitely run the London Marathon again next year though.

So what else has been happening in the world? Well, I haven't blogged much recently so I haven't commented on the whole Maddie nonsense that's being going on for what seems like years. I've got my own thoughts on the matter but I think I'll probably keep them to myself as far too many people are chucking in their two bob's worth, and we probably don't know all of the facts.
