That was a famous and often quoted song in the eighties in Switzerland, and it’s an adequate title, because apart from my cycling trips to the shop, admiring the geese, the blooming daffodils and the rabbits, there are not that many interesting things to talk about, now that I’m mostly home. But here are a few things that have been happening:

I went to see St. Magnus’ Cathedral with Maleah’s class and although I’ve been a few times before, it was fascinating! Now I can’t wait to show our visitors all the new things I have learnt. We also went to see a film in the St. Magnus Center, in which I will volunteer a few times over the next few months. I’m looking forward to that, too. Even if I am a little nervous.

I’ve finished writing my reports in English and German and will send them off soon and I have started writing the article for the Swiss teachers’ magazine about reading. They asked me to write about 6000 characters. First, I thought that was sooo much! But I had those in no time - and went far over, so now I have to see how I can cut down again!

I’ve also been invited for an interview at St. Andrews School, where I applied as an Early Years Assistant. It would only be Friday mornings, so it seems perfect. So I’m quite nervous about that.

Also I’m going back to Glaitness, the school in Kirkwall, next week as they’re having an outdoor practice day, trying to make fire without a lighter and then cooking hot chocolate on a Kelly Kettle! I’m very excited to learn that!

Ok, that’s all for now. Nanouk has Youth Day in Stromness tomorrow and the rest of us have been invited to Sheila and Iain’s for a lunch in Birsay. Hopefully we’ll get to go on the Brough, too! (You can only go out there if it’s low tide) as it’s one of my favourite places in Orkney!


Oh, no, I nearly forgot to mention Nanouk’s amazing musical! It was called the Dracula Rock Show and was played and sung by P4 - 7 at St. Andrews. Nanouk was a Zombie, delivered his two lines wonderfully - and impressed us with his Zombie Dance!
