eyes wide shut
What with the usual early start this morning, a hot and sweaty ride to school, six lessons followed by one private lesson after school, half an hour of biology revision with Christelle and the ride home, I am beyond tired. I’ve reached the stage where my eyelids are closing of their own accord. Actually, I’m starting to wonder why I’m not in bed instead of here quenching my recently aquired thirst for blog writing.
Just quickly then. All is splendid in the Republican Dominic (that one’s for you, Maman). Still as hot and sunny as ever but I’m rapidly losing my tan due to the fact that I’m dressed in uniform during daylight hours. Also, haven’t been to the beach in a while but will do this weekend.
My lessons are going smoothly, although I still have the odd hyper-active student who can’t sit down and keep his/her mouth shut (his, for the most part). Christmas preparations are getting under way in most of my classes but I’m still trying to get my hands on a copy of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, for my Primero de Bachelierato class. If any of you feel like FedEx-ing one my way, please do so ASAP. A scripted version would be even better. I am even willing to pay postage, if you’re feeling stingy.
Must go. I’m shattered.

Hi Daniel,
Check this out: http://www.stormfax.com/dickens.htm
Looks like the full text. I hope paper isn’t too expensive in the public Roman dinner can.
Good luck!

There are scripted versions. I googled ["charles dickens" "a christmas carol" stage play] and got some results, but I didn’t have time to pursue them. The first hit cost money

Ooh thanks a million! I googled it too but wasn’t so specific with my search syntax.
