Just had some visitors from NZQA visiting and at our introductions the woman, Coralie, said "Oh, I know some Fiebig's, I used to go to school with a couple" Turned out to be Phil and Geoff at Wainui College. I had to quickly dissassociate myself from their past sins! (I'm well capable of conducting my own!). Small world.
Here's my darling little boy wearing Daddies helmet and raring to go biking! Like father like son!
An email circulating around work at the moment is offering staff the opportunity to attend a seminar on Time Management. Now seriously, in a country that operates on Island Time a seminar on Time Management is a dead duck in my books! I mean, the only good such a session could do in Raro is provide advice on how to fill the time we have rather than how to try to find more! My wife would no doubt disagree but I feel the facilitator of this seminar hasn't done her market research! It's a bit like Gordon Ramsay going to India to do a seminar on how to cook curry! Needless to say I won't be attending - I simply don't have the time!
It was confirmed today that the Teaching & Learning Advisory Team, of which I am one, will be visiting Aitutaki in week 2 of Term 2 for a week of providing professional development to the schools there. If you don't already know Aitutaki has long been considered one of the most beautiful places on earth - the lagoon is spectacular - apparently. I can't wait to find out! While my days will be busy I'm sure I'll find time to enjoy the surroundings. Wantch this space for photos. Only wish I could take Janine but the costs are prohibitive at this stage. But definately before we leave.
Incidentally, Janine woke last night, or rather woke me by punching me hard in the arm and crying out about things crawling on the bed. Of course I awoke and consoled her after such a horrible dream! To which she replied "You brought me to this horrible place!" Seems wife hasn't sorted out her irrational fear of centipedes?! Or perhaps the bad dream was just a ruse...!
