Back from my Blog Holiday
Last term was me a little battle weary from a hard year, and other than an enthusiasm for a growing knowledge of web 2.0 found my passion for ICT waining a little. I always said that my current post (ICT Management) should not become about the technology, but should remain about people. This remains a challenge, but this years timetable seems me more in the class, and with less time for my management duties. A blessing of sorts. Its good to get back to the teaching, and esspecially back to teaching some biology. I hope to get back to the blogging very soon, but before I do, I thought I would indulgle myself by sharing a few of the highlights from my blog free summer.
It started with a week down in wales, most of which was spent sleeping or kite buggying on a rather splendid beach. Since moving to the west coast, I have missed the buggying (there isnt much flat land or large beaches arround here), so this was a real treat. The next couple of weeks were spend mullet fishing, snorkling, and other assorted water sports near girvan on the ayrshire coast. The highlight of this section of the holidays was snorkling with seals. There have long been seals on this part of the coast, but this year there one that was particularly inquisitive, and persuaded my brother and I get in the water with it. Priceless!
The next section saw our return as a family to Shetland, and my return to some spectacular coastal scenery by Kayak. For those of you who paddle, shetland is well worth a trip. The sea caves are second to none (in my humble opinion).
The final section of the holidays we finally got home, and spent some time recovering before starting back at work.
I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting year, both professionally and personally, and I will of course share it all with you wonderfull people out there in the blogoshere! Now what have I got first thing tommorow?
