Yesterday Tony and I went to St Eugene's primary school and we did have a very full day, we both had 32 kids each for reading and comprehension, and that was hard going, the kids are all very polite and it was such a pleasure to be there, the children who have recently come over from the mainland find it paticularly hard to cope. There maybe a whole class of chinese kids with an Irish accent, trying to get them to say "cake and bake" istead of "kike and bike" could be very interesting.
After mass and breakfast we did our weekly shopping, and then I did all our washing, and cleaning our unit, and ironing. We then had a very quiet afternoon.
I did some surfing on the web for air fares and hotels for Xian, but I'm finding it very difficult as some give them in us$ and some in au$ some in Hong Kong$ and then others in Yuens so by the time I work them out I had wasted most of the afternoon.
When we went shopping this am I found Australian wines on the shelf and good old Tony found the Muscato and we are sitting here enyoying as I'm writing up my blog and him reading a book, sipping a glass or two!!
Met a priest tonight who went to school with FR Bill and his father and Uncle Joe were best mates, how about that for a small world.
