I love my job
In addition to teaching, I do some part-time gardening to keep the pennies rolling in. Most of the time I am tending a rather idyllic city centre park that doesn’t get many visitors, leaving me in an oasis of peace and quiet for much of the day. Every day there is an 84-year old lady who comes in, supported by her two walking sticks, for a couple of laps of the park. She tells me she has fallen quite a few times and caused herself some injury, but she is determined not to give up walking - “At my age, if you give up, what else is there?“, she says.
Good post.
