Today I was supposed to join Christelle and family on a boating excursion to a nearby island. Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling my best and spent the day in bed. As a result, I didn’t get anything productive done and I’m still feeling a bit under the weather. That said, the weather here is as good as it gets for a February afternoon.

Meanwhile, Christelle’s godparents have joined me in the apartment during their two week stay in the country. They arrived last week and will be leaving on 6 March.

I have been enjoying the luxuries of having an internet connection at home. This is only my second post since the installation because I’ve been spending so long reacquainting myself with the wonders of high-speed surfing, what with downloading the latest episodes of 24, Prison Break, Lost, and so on.

Lately I’ve been doing some interesting activities in the classroom; interviews, getting the kids to teach a lesson and surveys. I dare say most of them enjoyed it compared to your average lesson.

It’s time again to think about exam preparation and that dreaded calligraphy!! Exams aren’t for a few months but from what I understand they must be submitted by April to be checked, copied and bound.

I’ve had a nasty cough for the past couple of weeks which doesn’t seem to want to go away. Must get something for it when I’m feeling up to the challenge.

Back in January I promised you all a photo of that plane I was on that got a rabbit stuck in one of its engines. Here it is.

The infamous plane that was brought down by a rabbit, of all things holy.

Note: I’ve just updated the blogroll down the left side of this page with a few links to a couple of blogs and other pages of interest.
