My daughter is a TA, three months ago she moved to another school after after a nine year stay at her 1st school after qualifying.*bows down to you* - I’m a teacher and would be absolutely lost without amazing TAs like yourself, as would the children. Your current situation sounds sadly familiar to me but I frequently see there are other roles advertised where you can utilise your existing skills and build on them - and I am sure there are other settings where we are not all stretched as thinly (perhaps getting harder to find though, I acknowledge). Look after yourself; it’s not an easy job at the best of times, let alone with diabetes too.
Yamas!Sitting under beautiful walnut trees, sun shining, cool breeze, listening to relaxing chill out music and sipping cold white wine..... In Paleokasistra, Corfu.
After 2 gruelling days travel with 6am starts. 7.1 this morning.

I didn’t get on with them either @goodybags - after the amount of injections I’ve given myself over the years! Mine were spring-loaded and the needles were really long. I didn’t like doing them at all.I’m not really getting on well with the anti-blood clot injections, I have to do them every evening (think Ive done 17 of the 40 I need, so nearly half way through the course)
they are very different to my insulin injections or any of the others I give myself / or the hospital gives me regularly.
I had reasonable success with raspberries, strawberries or redcurrants, sieved to get rid of seeds with Skyr yoghurt in the ice cream maker. No sugar or sweeteners needed. It was a tad challenging to get out of the container when put in the freezer so better to freeze in portion size or eat straight away.Good morning. 6.8
Bright and sunny with increasing heat forecast for next few days with, at the weekend, a very low chance of light rain.
Aching all over although I did very little except cut a hedge and make a door wedge. Michael did well tho' - got through weeding 3 beds. Now need more bark/wood chip. Nice couple came and bought chest freezer - Facebook market place is handy. Have spotted a rather nice looking iron garden table so may potter off to check that out rather than doing anything more energetic. Its quite close to my best chums so I can bag a cuppa, a friendly natter and a fine view of the sea as well.
Somebody with no concept of order has been through my cables and accessories box. Thank you Grandson. Spent half an hour disentangling and re-coiling before I found the lead which will connect my camera to the PC, the battery charger for it and the external card reader - The German monster doesn't have those useful slots in his carcass. The smug Teuton is refusing to talk to the printer - no idea why - I really could do with a teenager.
After watching Tim Spector the other night I have decided to give up all artificial sweeteners. Oddly black tea tastes OK without. Shall settle for reduced sugar ice-cream recipes when the machine arrives. Any good recipes for sorbet etc will be gratefully acknowledged.
Hope everyone doing well whatever the weather where you are.
I had to do them after my knee surgery and yes the needle was long but it tended to sting for about 10 mins afterwards.I didn’t get on with them either @goodybags - after the amount of injections I’ve given myself over the years!

Oh would I now?!Oh dear! I was hoping for a night long HS so @ColinUK would give me a terrace also known as a TS! 🙂

Try lining a loaf tin with baking parchment and filling that with the mixture. Once frozen it’s easy to turn out and you can cut a slice. It’s what I do if I make semifreddo or anything vaguely like ice cream.I had reasonable success with raspberries, strawberries or redcurrants, sieved to get rid of seeds with Skyr yoghurt in the ice cream maker.
