Cakes for everyone

I love baking. This is not a secret, we all know this. I especially love baking cupcakes, it's right there in my username after all. I'd made some chocolate cupcakes with rainbow icing over the weekend, quite a lot of them actually, with the intention on taking some into work.

I left some in my office, so people could take one when they came in to see me. I left some in the classroom, so people could take one during a lecture. When I spoke to colleagues, I let them know there were cakes. After all, who doesn't like cake?

I also signed up to volunteer with the school mental health team; both as a mentor for students to talk to but also to facilitate/assist in workshops on topics such as self-management, time management, mindfulness and stress management.

Lucy suggested I could look at doing a course of study in the field, maybe focus on counselling or social care or mental health because it's something I'm getting more and more interested in. I don't know if I could manage it on top of working but I keep thinking about taking early retirement to spend more time with Jack and Lucy so maybe I could do it after retirement to keep my mind working
