dream

cycling to work today was a dream, with the silenced menagery...

i so love my bike... the journey home also just as smooth as you like...

the teaching in between these two journeys was also good... the DOTS class showing some real progress in the students, however small the numbers are right now...

and the musicianship class a somewhat crazy but good affair, J my apprentice did a fair bit of the teaching, he also reflected on my own teaching in our discussion at the end, bringing to light how i deal with challenging behaviour and how he'd like to get to the point where he can do the same... a product of my experience, where me & J differ, he's really good but he has very little experience so far...

reminds me of when i was in that place,

i do enjoy teaching...

and now i've got a couple of days off and for once i have a girlfriend on valentine's day, neither of us are too arsed about it, both of us have had too many negative experiences of that day... time to reclaim it...

but i guess it's a little similar to how i feel about reading books that everyone else is reading, a reluctance to go with the herd...

almost tempting to not be at all romantic tomorrow (later today) and just carry on being deeply romantic when we're moved to (which is quite a lot of the time, still early months for our romance...)

but not quite tempting enough... we'll see how our valentine's comes about...
