Day 173 2015: Cloudy days...

Day 173: ...marking and grading

Yes. Office. Each day until every. single. piece. of. assessment...every. single. piece...is sorted. Oh it is a joy. Really. Those who worked hard, and succeeded, those who didn't. After 25 years, there are very few surprises left. The nature of the marking--content, quality, meaning--has changed dramatically too. But that's a post for the other blog (or the Masters I'm also undertaking at the moment).

So there was much marking, preliminary moderation, discussion and sharing of views today before it was time to head back to rehearsal, which I was determined to attend this week. 

It also rained during the day, somewhat unexpectedly so by the time I got out, the sun was going down (it is winter solstice after all) and all I had to play with were the clouds and the moon...and some dusky grasses.

Well, that's not all that bad now is it. Is it?

All straight, no filters, no editing (well a touch of cropping). Amazing range of light and colour. Bit like the marking really, amazing range...
