December

It has been a long time since I wrote anything on the blog and alot has happened.  Mom and Dad visited for 3 weeks and Oliver came for one week at the end of December.  My teaching job has been interesting and I learned alot about what works and what what doesn't work.  I have a lot of new ideas for January.  I am still a bit skeptical that the school is a secure place to work, but I will continue to take it one month at a time.  We've had a three-week break over the Christmas period, so it's been a nice long break.  The weather is cooler and sometimes almost "cold".  We've had to wear jackets (yesterdays it was 20C or 66F).  The evenings are still the most beautiful times, I think, with the sunsets and pink skies.  We bought some Arabic cushions for the back patio - red cushions and a sort of tray to put drinks on.  With candles, it is very pleasant.
