| |  Finally, after two months as a college professor/lecturer I have reached half term - a well deserved break. My job is splendid and the people I work with are really special. To top it off, the students are incredible! (what a relief to have well behaved students. It really does make a huge difference when teaching).
Our weekend began with a dinner party hosted by a work friend. The theme was Thai and I am still in awe over the presentation of the table and food. Accent colours of red and black with white roses to soften the contrast. Neatly folded napkins fell to our laps as tiny pieces of paper with questions pertaining to each person to get conversations going, entertained us. I met several people who I hope to see again (one whom has even starred in movies with Brad Pitt & Robert Redford!). Yes, I know stars. *blush*
Today, Darren and I have done a bit of gardening in our front garden (that's yard for you american folk). The soil was in desperate need of refreshing. The greenery is much happier now. The lavender even smells purple.
We are now on our way to exchange our British Pounds to Euros and pack for our trip to Italy which is TOMORROW! Technically, today. We leave for Heathrow Airport at 4:00 am *yawn*
ARRIVEDERCI! |
