Called in at school today to collect my book cases, so I can bring all my books home from school at the end of the week. I can’t believe I am not going back to school again – I’ll be officially retired on 31^st August. I can’t believe I’ll be a pensioner in less than two weeks. I’ll miss the kids but not much else.  What I’m really looking forward to is having more time to devote to being a councillor.
