November

November has flown by, it only seems like a couple of days since we were in Bangkok, but then I looked at my calendar this morning and realised how much we got up to, we were busy pretty much all of the time!

Last weekend was interesting, robyn and claire came to visit and we had a little party, it was a good laugh and nice to get drunk in our house with someone else, rather than just me and david.

We painted a Union Flag on one of our walls and it looks amazing, there will be photos on Facebook.

I had a horrible migraine on Monday and spent the entire night with my head under the shower and head in the toilet. Tuesday was equally as fun as I was feeling pretty dead, I did start to feel better in the afternoon and ended up going to a wedding. I hadn't eaten for a while, and got drunk with al the teachers from a small amount of alcohol.

Wednesday was Loy Gratung, a Thai festival to give thanks to the river, we made our Gratungs and floated them on the river. It was quite a spectacle as there were hundreds of floating decorations on the river and lots of lanterns and fireworks.

Teaching for the past two weeks has been amazing, I am really enjoying it, I have started to use more games and activities to make the lessons more enjoyable for the students and they really get into it. The best part is that they are all becoming more confident at speaking in English. There are a few students that wouldn't even talk to start with, but now they are happily joining in with the activities.

I still love how bad the little pictures are in the advent calendar, I got a little train yesterday. The paper ones are much better than chocolate!

Thanks for stopping by.
