2012

Looks like I’ll be in the UK that year then. I can’t believe London got it when Machester didn’t last time. Mancheser is a much better place for the games. In anycase I’ve never been to an Olympics and it’s such a futuristic sounding date I can’t resist. Stange though.


Seriously Freaked Out

So this meeting that I’ve been kind of dreading wasn’t so bad. Its turned out to be a nice meal in a lovely reastaurant with the BOE officials plus the admin staff and the SMT from all four schoools. Of course the admin ladies from the primary schools are the people who have been the … Read More



24hr Cthulhu!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Thats a weird and intense experience. Very very Victorian and we were all completely knackered. I could have sworn I was going to kill the Trekkie with a Deep One but he rolled really well. Gods I’m tripping…

Climbing Fuji

So I’m off up Fujisan again tonight. Hopefully. I won’t deny that I am a little concerned about the weather. It’s been so changeable recently and was predicting a thunderstorm tonight though now just chance of rain…The radio says it’s raining over there already. I hope like hell it’s going to be an ok climb, … Read More


Adults and Americans

So I had the inestimable American Falcon round, she’s one of Skimble’s friends on her uni summer holidays and she’s fallen in love with the JET program. She’ll be back when she’s graduated I suspect. We caused our adult class much merriment at our differences and introductions. It was good fun having her stay over … Read More


Humid Isn’t A Real Word

Before class this morning the Jedi asked what the english for muushiatsui was, now this I know, it’s humid says I. Aha lets teach it to the kids when we talk about weather today. Ok fair enough. So I wrote humid on the blackboard and asked if anyone knew it. The Jedi encouraged them to … Read More
