Week 2 at school

One of my students came in on Monday and presented me with a bag of ANZAC biscuits that she had baked on the weekend. She had found a recipe in a book and decided that becaise she had an Aussie teacher she would make them. They were good.

I was surprised on Tuesday night to get a Skype call from Bryan, my brother in Philly. I first mentioned to him about getting Skype in 2001 when we were visiting. I even left him with a web camera at the time. He finally managed to get it all set up. Might see him and his family over here this year.

We had our first "Choir practice" on Friday after school at the Black Bear Neighbourhood Pub. There were about half a dozen staff there. Not a bad "Winter Ale".
