May Wine Club

Another wine club, another year coming to a close.  This year we saw four members leaving for new adventures and I tried to make a theme celebrating them.  They each told me a wine the loved and the wine snack they love.   I had these wines and snacks available and everyone had to guess whose went with whose.  It was meant to be a packed house but the rain scared a few people away.  This only meant more wine for the rest of us, which this morning does not feel like a good thing!

I think that close off 17 years of wine clubs! 

Middle School Maths Team

I wanted to fully get out of Middle school next year.  I currently have one year 9 class and the rest are in high school.  But I could not totally leave, I love the team at Middle school so much.  So again, I will take the one class so I can keep hanging out with this great bunch.  Last night we celebrated Molly, who will be off with her family to Zambia next academic year.  It sounds like a great place to live and a wonderful school.  I will let her and her family vet it first and then one never knows!

The views from his building are amazing.

Lunch/Grad/Matt

I cannot believe Mayra had not met Asit and Charu and she has been here five weeks.  Time just seems to fly by, I mean I know that is always the way but now it seems at ultra speed (and it really does, you can look up the Mathematics behind why time goes faster as we age).  Lucky we rectified the situation just in time and we all went to lunch Saturday.  And what a lunch, Charu and Asit spoiled us rotten and we enjoyed a long leisurely lunch together.  I then literally ran home to get ready for graduation and ran out the door.  I forgot to take pictures of the event as was just so behind, I cannot believe I messed that up.  After a long ceremony I then went to meet Matt, Chris and Kerry for dinner.  We had a lovely evening, even if I was a tad bit tired.  It was great to catch up with Matt and look forward to our next adventure somewhere in this world.

The summer vacation count day is really on now! Only three weeks of this academic year left. 

Finally the St. Andrew's Crew

I have heard a lot about the teachers at St. Andrews.  Luis loves the school and all the people there.  I have met some at the odd event but we were finally able to coordinate a dinner on Friday.  Luis had warned his Mum that there were no Spanish speakers, but as always someone appeared saying they spoke very little and ended up speaking loads!  I really wish I had the courage to talk more, it definitely makes me look bad.  Besides my own insecurities about my language skills it was such a fun evening.  The gentleman are from Ireland and both their partners British, we had such a laugh together.  It took way too long to make it happen and we certainly won't wait this length of time to make it happen again.

On a totally different note I just wanted to showcase my dinosaur pancake making skills somewhere.

Bangkok Hidden Boat Tours

Wednesday was a Buddha Day and therefore a holiday from school.  I took this opportunity to have a Matt and Amanda day.  I had heard about this Bangkok Hidden boat tour for ages and we decided it would be something fun to do.  We got our own little boat and traveled through the canals around Bangkok.  I had never seen any of it before.  It was very interesting and a nice day on the water.

An interesting day and I am also now caught up on all the Bruton gossip!
