This last week has been the last before the Christmas break, and so it has been impossible to get anything done. The kids are crazy, the timetable is crazy, and there is the constant interruption caused by the Christmas ceremony that has been planned for tomorrow afternoon. It is not uncommon to lose 16 of 18 kids in grade 2 to choir, and while it is awesome that so many of the kids are getting involved it kind of makes it difficult to plan a lesson when you have kids wandering in and out of it. This is especially true because we're trying to ensure that the kids have enough homework to last them over the unprecedented 3 week holiday. Ugh, it's all good, it's just another hurdle.
Dave has managed to acclimatise himself to both the weather, time difference and the style of living. The thermostat has slowly worked its way out of the high thirties, he's going to bed and waking up at a decent hour and has ensconced himself fairly securely to the couch. It's actually been a little boring for him, I think. I mean, it's great to have him around, but we feel a little bad that we haven't really been able to travel every day. Anyway, he says that it's okay and that he's entertaining himself with movies and computer games that he's availing himself of through our unlimited internet connection.
This weekend should be more exciting. We're headed off to Vienna for a couple of days, so we'll have a look at the Vienna Christmas market, walk through the old town, and see what we can see. Last time we were there, the city seemed pretty alive with things to do, so I'm sure it'll be a fun weekend.
- Daniel.
