Hello all ( Read more... )

Today has been a test of stamina....starting from the morning bus ride into the City and ending with 3 hours with an Accountant!!! STINKY! I'm pooped ( Read more... )

Good Evening all. Well another fabulous day in paradise is over. The days really do have wings out here at the moment. My morning now has a routine. I never used to have a routine. I wake up now around 8am every morning. I grabbed my bog roll, my toothpaste, toothbrush and towel and wander to the bathroom. After morning abultions, I returned ( Read more... )

Today has been an experience! My morning started a little late. I overslept till 8:35 (I know and on a Sunday as well) I'd forgotten that we were having a parents meeting this morning....so I had a rather large audience of bemused parents watching me trapse to the bathroom with my toothbrush and paste and bog roll! How embarassing! So after my ( Read more... )

Well today the new timetable took affect. That meant I had 6 lessons to teach today....really wasn't looking forward to this. I've decided that I find teaching big groups really difficult because you have to keep them all amused for a long period of time.

So today after another restless nights sleep, (this time kept awake by the incessant barking of a dog seemingly right outside my window) I was up and out the door by 7:45 for our excursion to Anuradhapura. Have been looking forward to this, just because once in a while it is nice to leave the peaceful tranquility of Mahavilachchiya and have a ( Read more... )

So it was nose to the grind stone as they say. Had to make tracks on my NORAD proposal. Anyone out there know what I should be writing. The art of bullshit is a real necessity when writing these things. I'm realising that now. My bullsit techniques are improving everyday. Not sure whether to appeal to people's emmotional side or just hit them ( Read more... )

Wow, have found the most amazing invention. It's called Skype. It means you can call over the world for the price of your internet connection! How wickid is that! If you register at www.skype.com and let me know when you are on line, we can talk over the internet. YOu will have to get headphones though with a microphone. It's pretty cool though ( Read more... )
