ok

ok, so, i'm off to paris again this weekend which should be lovely... i'm really looking forward to it.

and yesterday was my first paid sick day. i haven't been sick for ages. but last weekend i was heaps drained and don't know what came over me... so on monday, rang the school, e-mailed through some work and then slept through from 8:30am till 4:15pm bar when a friend called me cos she was off sick too. so, that was my monday, and today i was back at school, but still quite drained... hopefully i will be right for tomorrow. everyone asked me how glastongbury was... thought i was wagging.... I WISH... no, i was sick in bed all day... hooray!

oh, i started helping out with sunday school too. last week was my second week doing that. so probably quite a lot less travel for me. i will still try and get away once a month or so and maybe try to use london whilst i am here more.

hmm, can't think of anything else that exciting that i have done recently...
so, a quick few photos and then i'll be off to bed... cos i need an early night.

later,
love

ummmm, a group of us at 'the church' same outfit as last year... hehe... actually, that's a lie, i was wearing new shorts!
rach, me and our new friend toby who we met in ireland... with harrods in the backgroung... oh yeah, that's what i did on sat... rach and i went to ikea and bought way too much stuff and then caught up with toby...
and then we went to hyde park to listen to a concert (crowded house was on) but then the rains came...
us later that day.... haha... drowned rats... and freezing cold... hmmm, the start of my cold maybe???
me and rach at the cliffs of moher in ireland... say CHEESE!!!! (that's one of the promised ireland ones)
me, schelle and rach at jo and jeremy's party, do you like my new h&m dress??
that looks like a sydney ummm, button... in dublin
rach and toby in gallway (a day after we met toby)
me and schelle at the church... talk to me goose
schelle and i at the hare and tortoise in kensington... one of our new favourite restaurants.

whoops, it's been a while

well, i have almost forgotten about ireland already. it was only 2 weeks ago, but school has been hectic since. It was a fabulous time away and well, Ireland was a beautiful country to travel through. AMAZING. And since then Rach has gotten herself a job (congrats) AND a place to live just down the road (congrats again! praise God) and i have had reports due, but loved every minute of school, even the hard days. I love it when the kids start giving you grief about things you have no control over... and then the teachers start too... ha. I have been a little stressed out with organising a school singing club performance at the last moment and a few other fun things, but the weather has been beautiful and at the minute I am sitting outside in the backyard in the sun, so it's not all a stress. (although these stupid big dark clouds keep coming over and blocking the sun looking like it will rain, and then sun out again... crazy).

I am still enjoying the work i do with homeless people on mondays and on thursday a few of us went to see billy elliott... FABULOUS musical. I really enjoyed the dancing and the songs and i didn't know the story but at one stage i had tears streaming down my face... it was truly fab.

this sunday i am starting my first day at helping out at sunday school at my church which will be interesting. I am really looking forward to it. but that will mean less travel for me as i will be committing to sundays there, but the timing is right... i really want to start serving in my church, so a good opportunity for me to do this.

hmmm, what else? I'll just give you a quick rundown of ireland... so, all the free stuff... haha, met some dude called toby (great to meet you buddy) and gave him a lift from Doolin to Galway and rach and i hung round with him a bit. so what was it?? drove from dublin airport to waterford, (via Kilkenny where i had a kilkenny in kilkenny) stayed just outside waterford at tramore and rach was quite sick at this stage. ummm, went from tramore to killarney via cork and blarney castle (where of course we kissed the stone). From Killarney we drove the ring of kerry, stayed again in killarney (which is where i wrote my last posting) and then viewed the beautiful cliffs of moher (nothing on the 12 apostles, but not bad) and stayed the night in doolin. (where we met toby and went out to a pub dinner). then drove to and around galway, from galway drove through the connemarra and tried for another night in galway which was packed due to a long weekend (and so the prices jumped heaps to like €26pp), so we tried for a village between galway and dublin called... ummm, aughrim (i think) and stayed there for €17... bargain! then drove onto dublin which we weren't very impressed with. from dublin stayed the night in a hostel with some more interesting characters, went out to the temple bar area which was nice enough, but a whole heap of drunken people (particularly hens and stags weekenders) so we went back for an early night. next day bummed around and then flew home.
oh and we did tick off the guinness and baileys too (maybe the baileys a few times!)

i will put some piccies up soon, but unfortunately they are not working today... grrrrrr.
apart from that, i am going well (as usual). looking forward to a lazy night and a lie in tomorrow... i am just exhausted. I have burnt myself out this week, so it will be nice to be lazy (and finish off those reports that were due today, but they won't be working on them over the weekend, and i did check with the head teacher that i could hand them in on monday.)

ok, well, i should probably make some way on them... i am way over half-way, just got to finish them.
love to you all!
