Today was a good day because I had a good morning. It is amazing how the first few hours in the day can have such an impact on the rest of the day. Sure I still had some crappy classes, kids doing the wrong thing, and I got told off for doing something that was entirely not my fault, but still it is the end of the school day and I am smiling because it started so well!

Ben and I got up at 5:30 without hitting the snooze button once. We then went for a morning walk in the very cold morning air (the sun wasn’t even up yet). When we got home we had a delicious breakfast of hot tea, bacon, eggs, onion, tomato and sourdough bread. We even had some time left over to talk before I had to leave for school. Finally I had gotten up early enough to ride my bike to school which not only is helping with my desire to be fitter but also meant I had a whole half an hour on the train to read and practice my French exercises, instead of the usual sitting in the car listening to the idiots on breakfast radio.

It was wonderful and I intend on trying to do it again tomorrow!
