Foreign Perspectives

We were tootling along quite nicely with our various regular activities until a week or two back but now it’s getting to the point that we can barely fit everything in.

It’s mainly down to the Christmas activities that the school seem to be throwing at us almost daily which are difficult to fit into what was already a reasonably full though doable schedule. Thus we have school photos to deal with, school calendars to come in the next day or two, the school Christmas fair this week, the school play next week, the school Christmas pantomime the following week and, no doubt, many more Christmasy things that we’ve forgotten or not been told about yet.

Naturally, there are also things like Christmas cards to write, Christmas presents to be bought, the Christmas markets to be seen and lots more besides.

And, of course, there are the non-Christmas things to be done which, for me, seems to be largely taken up with assorted course assignments though there’s lots of non-course things to be done too.
