The first women’s rugby world cup was very different from the high profile tournament currently taking place. If you would like to learn just how different, I recommend ‘Scrum Queens’ on iPlayer. My sister played in first ever women’s rugby world cup in 1991. Proud of her!

My dog, Luca, and I are not feeling very motivated today so have decided not to fight it but to go with it and have a chill day. Luca seems pleased with the decision!

In Bristol developing a tool for schools in Wales and a tool for schools in England. It helps - evaluate provision - identify cross curriculum opportunities - ensure curricular statutory requirements are met - identify gaps in provision - bring clarity to what is taught/ when.

Having painted and wallpapered all weekend, time to relax here with a glass of wine before an evening meal. Loving Sunday evenings in the summer break!

Love a Sunday evening in the holidays! After painting and decorating all day, loving an evening walk in the sunshine with my dog that just two weeks ago was close to death. Being mindful and counting blessings.

After a busy day, just resting in the shade of a hay bale. Schools can be extremely pressurised places at this time of year. There’s certainly no ‘winding down’ to the end it term. !!!

Dad had the send off he would have wanted. Don’t be sad. He loved life. Just hold close those you love. Don’t assume they will be here forever. Treasure every moment. I will be back to all things school on Monday.

I asked the leaders with whom I was working if they would recommend my leadership development programme and tool. Their responses are below. Full evaluations here: glavincatalyst.co.uk/wp-content/upl… Is your leadership development as impactful?

I am now ready to share that my father, John Glavin, died recently. Suddenly without suffering or loss of dignity. He was well, fiercely independent and enjoying life up to the end of his 87 years. He was playing bowls right up to the hour before his death! RIP Dad.

I find it impactful to work alongside governing bodies within their schools. Context is so important. Today my input is around the self -evaluation of the governing body itself and the planning of focussed visits within the established protocol.

So, it’s happened! I guess it’s better than the alternative!! With demand high, a full diary and humbling feedback, I’ve no intention of retiring fully yet! Business as usual- just a little older and a lot wiser!
