Bomana Days

Well despite the business of the staffroom at Mville these last coupla days, we've been managing to have a pretty good time. Last night we went out to dinner with the AVIs to Asia Aromas (which pleased the readers of Lonely PLanet PNG as it got a mention as the best eating place in POM) and stayed the night with Lea and Nev - my favourite hotel! (Those two have been the best in-loco-parentis home-away-from-home I could imagine - and their pool's not bad either!)

Lin and Em have been hits at school, and we even managed to sort out the order of hello's this morning with 10P - they always stand to greet you, and the "Good Morning Ms Conolly" is always chirpy and they want to welcome Lin and Em too, but never know quite what order to use, so it ends up sounding rather chaotic and fades away as they relaise they've said the opposite name to the person next to them. So today we decided on alpha rather than age order! (sounds a whole lot better in unison)

We've been doing a lot of work on Romeo and Juliet. We watched the Luhrman version last week, but Em brought the Zefferelli one so we've been doing comparisons of different scenes, and Em and Lin are getting first hand experience of watching movies with these girls of mine - very amusing! Tomorrwo we may venture into reading aloud frm the script - we'll see how we go.

Better head off now - they've already started "Bend it like Beckham" without me... Lin's last day tomorrow - very sad - but she's had a good time.

A very happy birthday to Kerry and Doug too for Tuesday - meant to post a happy day to them both but got caught up in convincing Lin to watch All Saints with us...
