... attend due to illness. There are, amazingly, no photos to record this event. We had a huge collection (too many) slides to present and of course we also had to be Adrian for at least 25% of the time. So we overran. Genrerally I think it was enjoyed.

... this time, we were only 2 of 3 people. So much shorter wait. Although with the rip off fees they charge I can see why there aren't more people there too! LOL! A transit visa for Belarus was 80 pounds and that is only for a transit visa!!!(And postal orders in the UK are a pricey too!!! $20 Australian non refundable dollars for a postal order!) So in Australian money that is $160 visa for simply sitting on a train for a couple of hours + postal order cost ...

Started today with a 2nd trip to the National Gallery to finish seeing the 'highlight' works including originals by Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Bellini, Manet, Monet, Raphael, Renoir and Rembrandt. Could easily spend a week there and not see everything. Then off to Harrods for a squiz. Although we've seen them before the food halls were still worth a ...

... there I found that it was a shopping area that surrounded a fountain. It was neat having the big city feeling, but it was also very crowded, and dirty. That was something that I really wasn't used to, so I didn't like it that much. That was the first night we were in London I think. We had the traditional Fish and Chips. The fish was a lot better than I was expecting, although I'm not sure why. The only ...

... Among many interesting items, a couple that stood out to me were James Cook's journal from the voyage of the Endeavor, and Jane Austin's writing desk. Toward the end of the day, I went through the National Portrait Gallery. They had paintings of most famous Britons going back to Henry VIII and his, what was it, six wives. It was good for a crash course in British history, and gave me a lot of the faces to put the names from ...

... groups. I am looking forward to our tutor time because we are going to have a little party and it will give me an opportunity to say goodbye to my tutor group properly. Monday went by in a flash. In the evening a group of teachers went to the St. George and the Dragon pub in Wargrave (which is near Twyford) to have a last little shebang before I go. The place was lovely and it was really nice to have people around that I really have grown ...

... hurried home to get it sorted. The evening was one of dinner and drinks and dancing and camaraderie with the staff. It was such a great to have just before leaving, as it allowed me to connect with people on a social level and not talk about school if we didn't want to. We had a great time chatting and dancing the night away. I am a bit knackered today (Thursday) because we were out late last night at the Christmas Party, but it was well worth it. Normally I ...

Warning: This week I've been a bit grumpy... I woke up Monday morning feeling pretty decent, but as soon as I got to school a little demon must have been sitting on my shoulder whispering bad thoughts and illness in my ear because by lunch time my stomach was in so much pain I could not even stand up straight. Chris came to the rescue and called the cover lady for me and I made some plans for period 5 and went home. I sat in the hot bath and then crawled into bed and slept for three ...

This week is off to an interesting start. I find I am a bit annoyed with myself that I spent such a lovely weekend at home instead of out exploring. But I need to get past that and just move on to the next challenge. Classes are going well today. Students for the most part are getting down to business, and despite a rather snotty little lass talking back during second period, I am having a decent day. My Thanksgiving plans got cancelled for later this week, so I am trying to decide ...
