news from the capital

Well I suppose I should write something since everyone else has. The term is flying by- already it is week five. This year I have a line allowance for band, but am still down a line (all you teachers will know what I mean) because the deputy put me on a class with no students. Still negotiating about what to do, tried to start a Year 7 band on line but all too hard as kids want band when they want! It's either internal relief, something I really don't want to do, or maybe an English class with special needs kids in year 11 and 12. Am unsure about whether I can teach it, but people at school reckon I could. That would give me three lines a t the senior campus which would be good. I have forty students doing music in year 11 and 12- 20 in each class!! Am quite proud of myself for having those numbers. And yes it is true,Lucy got her license, and is driving round town, though she is not allowed to have passengers for a month. The kitchen is finally finished with the splashbacks going in a few weeks ago. Have had the official approval from Mother. just waiting on the painting which should start in the next few weeks.

Had a bit of a shock a few weeks ago when Damian, Steve's brother had a heart attack- only 47. At home and recovering, and as this weekend is the Canberrra Day long weekend and the Tynans beat us to Cunjurong we are headed down to Pambula to visit. Gave Steve and Michael a wake-up call. The next weekend, Stephen and I are off to Melbourne to see Burt Bacharach, finally! We did have tickets to see him when he came out three years ago, but his concert was put off to july- the year we were going to Alice springs, so now we finally get to see him with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. So that's about all from me, good to see lots of entries on the blog, and especially from you Marty. Will see you soon, and Moo as well. am looking forward to June and Dad's birthday. Annie.
