Hey hey Friends,

I sit here in the St Mary's studio reception, staring at the blinking cursor, wondering... oh gosh, what the freak am I going to write about this week?

I'll let you in on a little secret... this happens every week (also often happens before I write any class plan!)

I dwell on the subject over the weekend but seem always to be writing this thing at the last minute.

Looking around for inspiration, I start answering emails (not so inspiring), which then remind me to reply to our Google reviews.

We got a bunch last week (thank you, you know who you are!), even though I got the notification to reply immediately. I didn't.

So, I'll let you in on another little secret... I find compliments really uncomfortable.

My partner knows this too. He compliments me all the time cause he's lame and I guess cute like that, and I never know what to say back. I just look at him with a blank and awkward stare like he got some Nori stuck in...
