Sunday Family Fun

On Friday I had to take Year 10 for an overnight trip, with some other teachers.  It was a long two days.  Unfortunately, most of the activities were meant to be outside and it rained both days. It was still a nice time but it had so much more potential. Sunday, I was ready for a relaxing day somewhere other than our place.  I found a hotel, that if you paid entry they gave you double back in food and drink vouchers.  We basically paid about 50 US dollars, and we got 100 back.  It was a very good deal as got to use all the facilities as well.

Great day out!

Sebastian's First Two Weeks

Sebastian has come home super exhausted every day from school.  I think he enjoys it, but it is definitely tiring and takes some getting use too.  I love that they send millions of photos and videos so we can keep on how he is doing.  Here are a few from his first two weeks.

I love it so much and we are so happy he is here!

Iwisyi in the House

Being back in Thailand is so exciting for many reasons but the number on reason is seeing so many people I have missed so much.  I cannot believe I got to see Iwisyi twice in one week.  She flew into Bangkok Wednesday and came straight to our flat for sushi and wine.  It was so great to see how quickly Sebastian warmed to her and just lovely to see her again.

Hoping to create many more memories in the future with this one!

PHUKET

It took me two and a half years to get back, but I made it back.  After being locked out of Phuket at the beginning of Covid, it was something I have been waiting for ever since.  On Saturday I headed South for the night, to surprise Emma for her birthday.  It could not have been a more amazing 24 hours.  It was like I had seen all of them yesterday.  Iwisyi, Emma, Jacqui and Luke, it was just the best night ever.  

It was honestly like I had not missed a beat and I cannot wait till October break when we will return.

Friday Monkey Pod

Monkey Pod is now my favourite place in the city, not only is it a one minute walk away but they let Lola and it feels like you are in the jungle and not the city.  I wish I had taken more photos of the actual scenery but imagine we will be back very soon.

We went with our very new buddies who have their daughter in town.  A very nice way to spend a Friday evening.

 

First Day at NIST International School

On Monday both Sebastian and myself had our first days of school and I can tell you we have been exhausted ever since! Sebastian loves it, he wakes up every morning ready to go at 6am but he is so tired after.  The students are fabulous and I have enjoyed the start but I had no idea what busy meant until now (and that is saying something).

The best thing is Sebastian came home with these shoes.  Which are of course not his, but are much nicer!  A great first day and almost week for all of us.

Sebastian and Mum Date - Luis and Lola

The last day before Sebastian and myself head off to school, we had a date.  At the same time Luis and Lola took off to the dog park.  All of us had brilliant days.

Lola and Daddy went to Dog Park 49.  Lola loved every minute.  I saw video evidence of her jumping jumps, playing with other dogs and basically loving life.  They even came home on a motorbike taxi.

Sebastian and myself had a huge adventure.  We went to bounce, then took the train for ice-cream, then headed for lunch, walked back home at Sebastian's request (he regretted this within four steps), then took a Tuk Tuk to Mummy's school, and then home.  What a day!  And tomorrow it all kicks off again, to commence Year 15 of teaching.
