So it's been over a month since my last entry, so I shall fill you in on the little funny details that have occurred in Naomi and my daily lives. After finishing Term 1 I wasn't satisfied with the amount that I had taught and felt that I could do a lot more. So, this term I have been adding more lessons here and there and I now have a nice mixed timetable, which keeps me busy with lesson preparations and marking. I go to prep every week night, as it's a good tim...

So, on the 18th of February, Peter, Bob, Michael, Jean, Matt and Phil arrived at St Zoe.
