SUNSHINE and bananas

It's wonderful and hot today. The teachers have rigged up a massive fan in the staffroom because they are so hot and it blows right across my desk which is heaps annoying. Paper everywhere. It's not that hot. I might get my legs out on the English room balcony today. Hmm.

Today and tomorrow is the grade 6 "camp" so there are 5 teachers missing from the staffroom. It's great. Plus it means I get to eat lunch in the staffroom because my schedule had me in with the grade 6 for lunch this week. I actually got to eat my food while it was still warm! And there was even too much for me, couldn't finish it! I feel heaps sorry for the teachers who had ot go on the trip. They left at 6:15 this morning and will get home tomorrow evening 7:45ish having been to 4 different major cities in Japan with 28 kids. I think it is a bit excessive to have 5 teachers accompanying only 28 kids, but if they want to waste their leave and money on dragging whinging mopers around Kyoto and Nara that's up to them. I expect I will get a full account of the Run Up and Talk to Foreigners happenings which will be interesting. I'd love it if they ran up the one tourist who has just had it up to here with sightseeing, is hungry, tired, lost, beweildered, just fought with their spouse of three days and just cracks it when 15 kids start yelling Harro!! at them. If that would happen I could almost feel sorry for not having gone.

Since it is 4:59pm I am about skip off home. Do you know what the best thing? Frozen bananas. Seriously, peel a banana, wrap it in cling wrap, put it in the freezer and suddenly eating an otherwise ordinary banana is a massive treat. Be better if it was dipped in chocolate first of course, but I can't actually think of a single thing that wouldn't be improved by being dipped in chocolate.
