All sounds good @Zoe7 . At least you now have the weekend ahead of you to restore some energy and vigor.

Sorry your Hurricanes couldnt win last night. Though I wasnt surprised. If you look at the Melb Stars lineup, they seem to have an unfair advantage when it comes to personnel once all their rep players return. Unfortunately it is my prediction that it will be a disappointing all-melbourne final on Sunday. My Sixers are down a few players, and although their batters have clicked on a few occasions, its rare. Mostly they lose 3 or 4 wickets during the early powerplay. So hard to recover from that, as your 'Canes found last night. Oh .. I cried when poor George hurt his shoulder fielding a ball on the boundary. I really like George. He looked in a world of pain, poor fellow.

George getting hurt so badly was really the cherry on top of a bad night @Former-Member  They were always going to be 20 runs short and Jofra didn't bowl well at all. It was a shame they couldn't win but I wasn't very confident so not at all surprised - especially when they lost the toss and we were batting first - our record batting first has not been a good one. I hope your Sixers can pull it off tonight - would love to see them in the final - whoever wins tonight I will be going for in the final 

Looking forward to relaxing and recharging the batteries this weekend. I have the usual housework to do but going to try to do some of that tonight - I figure I am already tired so will try to get some things done and then crash early. That is the plan but the reality may be that I simply crash early lol

How are doing today Hon?

It was a good day for me @Zoe7, and it was Visual’s day off (we have 1.5 days a week free).  I am loving coming back as an “old girl” this year ..... lol .... but I expect to quickly have the younger students starting to run rings around me .... especially with the tech stuff.

Visiting rellies have commented that my mr. is much thinner than he was when they last saw him two years ago, and they thought he was very thin then ..... so there is concern about what his austere, unrelenting regimen is doing to his health.  And he hasn’t taken them near his office space .... but he has decided to sleep in an area of the art space on a mattress on the floor, because the visitors are non-English-speaking and fearful of being on their own there, also without a phone ..... so I am wondering whether his food supplies and prep routines will follow him over there too .... and his sleep routine with nightly “treat” food and loud audio books definitely will.

Not worrying too much about it.  It translates to relief from the pressure he applies to us over it all because it is an all-day constant when you’re in his presence, but curious as to whether it adds to their concern.  It’s a form of feedback over something that we have become acclimatised to, from others who aren’t, and wondering whether they will offer feedback or advice.

It is good that your Mr. is sleeping over with the rellies @Faith-and-Hope - for both them and you all. Having that relief from the monotonous routines will be helping you all. It must be quite obvious from 'outsiders' how thin he is and no doubt that is causing concern among them but there is nothing you can do about that - he is the one that needs to recognise that this is all excessive and actually putting his health in danger.

It is good that you have that time off during the week. I bet you are loving being back - I remember how much you loved talking about your course last year and am not surprised that you are loving being the 'old' girl. It will also help Visual when she needs extra encouragement as you have been there and done that already before. I am so looking forward to hearing all about what you do this year - it is like I can see your eyes light up through your words when you write about your course. Soooo happy that you are back doing what you love and you love beeing back into it
