Amongst the many reasons to love Akashi are the wonderful people I work with here. After a long week of work, which began with my birthday on Tuesday, I received a very pleasant surprise this evening.
As we were all getting packed up and ready to leave work today, the head teacher at my school came into the staff room with a plausible and urgent reason for me to go quickly to the office. But as I entered the office, there stood the rest of my co-workers with a candle-adorned cake to wish me a happy birthday! This was quite possibly the most stealthily executed surprise manoeuvre I have been the recipient of. Normally, I’m not a big fan of being surprised, but in this case I was glad to be.
Thanks to everyone who reached out in different ways this week to make my birthday a little brighter!
