<p><b>Today's Gratitude Item:</b> A brilliant day 'out' visiting <a href="https://www.xero.com/nz/">xero</a>. They organised a day of fascinating sessions which has given me an insight into what they do and what jobs in the sector look like. The basic idea is that I can now take the relevant parts of the experience back to my classroom and hopefully inspire my students to pursue careers in STEM. It's wonderful to have companies like Xero who are willing to partner with those of us at the chalk face. Lunch was included and it was awesome (a really tasty part of a perfect day).

<p><b>Today's Gratitude Item:</b> The 10cm x 13cm plastic bags that I got for a project are the perfect size. It's good when that happens.

<p><b>Today's Gratitude Item:</b> Google Classroom's 'schedule' function. It's great to be able to set up work in advance and then have the work become available to students at a specified time.

<p><b>Today's Gratitude Item:</b> Still having another week of holidays. I've been enjoying some time off and am looking forward to the week ahead. Not having to get up super early tomorrow morning is a huge plus.

<p><b>Today's Gratitude Item:</b> Potatoes that don't need to be peeled before they are cooked. Both potato and skin taste great - especially with a bit of salt and cheesy dip.

<p><b>Today's Gratitude Item:</b> Guilt-free time out. I decided it was necessary to finally take some time off and it feels great.

<p><b>Today's Gratitude Item:</b> Read one book (427 pages) and made four video tutorials. All in all a 'balanced' day which involved some work and some fun. The four videos were actually four and a half videos as I was half way through editing one of them when my software slowed to a rather frustrating crawl. Will try again tomorrow.
