Saturday 5th February

Day out to London.  Excited to spot St Paul's Cathedral as learning about it at school.

Sunday 6th February

Attempting to do our marking together.  What a cute guy.  Not sure why I was skiving off marking to take this picture at this moment!

So that's week 52!  It appears I made it!   A few slip ups along the way - definitely not as many photos in the second half of the year.  I would hazard at 330 for the year?  Anyone care to count to see if I'm right?!  Though I haven't actually checked to see the date I started so maybe I'm not there yet?!  I am pleased I have done it.  Has been an interesting exercise.  I don't think I will carry on with it straight away.  Although I shall not rule out returning to it in later times.  I am quite tempted to try out taking a photo of the same thing (like me, or view from my window) for a year to see the changes.  For now though, a rest.

Have just found the original photo a day post which was very interesting to read what my thoughts were at the beginning of the year.  And I did indeed start on 7th February so I believe I can finish it now legitimately - I'm all about the self-imposed rules!  

Came across this post too of week 3 which I found interesting mainly due to the comment at the end wondering how long I would keep it up!  In spite of my slackness at the latter half of the year, I am still proud and pleased I have this record of the year.  Also liked this post because today (13th February - weird, I just typed August?!) I went to the Sheldonian Theatre with John to hear Kofi Annan talk and said it was probably a year since we last went there together - and this showed just how long ago it was!

 Spotted by one of the class outside the classroom window.  I love stopping lessons (at least at the end of term!) to look out the window, or just have an awe and wonder moment.  Is it a red kite?  There are lots of them that fly over school.
