Part-time teaching is where it’s at. I’m doing another job Mon-Tues and teaching Wed-Fri. I get to look forward to teaching and take no work home. Best decision I’ve made 😊 – at Croydon, London

Went to @sciencemuseum in London on Wednesday. The Power Up Exhibition was so amazing - 160 games consoles to play. Could stayed hours! Definitely recommend. – at Croydon, London

First Monday since going part time. Feels strange not going into school. Loving working in the home office and getting out and about. Still got a costa coffee, so not much different.

Can’t believe it’s March 😳
