Haloween The pumpkins,candles and masks were very prominant in Boston,Ireland, and San Fran.but we were a bit early for the main celebrations. I can see you all really enjoyed the experience. How many past lives have you people had????? Love Mum
No, don't worry, I'll warn her against doing anything as silly. :-)
BTW I don't show it in the photo but I was severely in pain from touching those chestnut outer spikey things to get the chestnuts out. (until I figured out a special foot removal technique) We cooked the chestnuts that night and they were delicious however so all pain forgotten.
look -a -like Seeing Christine in her high school unform reminds me of how you looked in yours .Soon she will start hanging around a short dark haired load mouth of Italian backgroud............History repeats it's self
See u soon...... I remember jim ,he was Jennys pen pal first (right) Glad that you are having a good time and still thinking of home.How fast has this year gone..
Trivia Umm... Kangabeavers. :)
And I did *not* know everything! Herve knew Paraguay when I was thinking Uruguay...
0 C here last night. +7 would be nice! (Sunny and 13 today though.) Hard to believe it was 35 degrees the day before we left for London (at the end of August).
A little too early to make changes yet. I have heard the school does this at the beginning to get the students 'in line'. Apparently then they loosen up. (It's meant to shake off the ones of "low character" .. a mother actually said this to me). I know Christine doesn't enjoy the strictness but she is actually enjoying the excitement and challenge of the actual subjects. A hard call, but I am loathe to say, 'OK, forget it, don't go anymore' as that's a pretty bad precedent to set. Ie giving up in the first few weeks.
No, no chance of changing schools now. It is a buearocratic nightmare to get in to any, changing is like climbing Everest. We've already decided to finish early however.
See you third week of January.
Christmas and school No, I haven't seen any Christmas decorations in the shops, yet.
Christine's school sounds a bit horrible to me. Wonder if the other high schools are the same?
Wonderfull !!!! HI everyone,
love seeing all the things that you are all going over there ,(much more then us ,Work ,school ,home Work ,school ,home Work ,school ,home Work ,school ,home )
:) It's nice to see all these places come to life in the photos and descriptions. It's hard to imagine that a month from today I'll actually be in London to see them myself.
