The Endless Summer

The kids 'endless summer' has finally come to an end.  Today, all three kids started at their new school.  By all accounts the day was about as good as the first day of school tends to be.  There was a little discomfort and a lot of new people.  They all made it through with flying colours: blue and light blue to be precise.

They seemed to like their new classes and teachers, for the most part.  The system is a little different here.  Specifically, the kids don't need to take a science or math unless they thing they might go into engineering or something similar.  Also, all of the kids have recess and lunch even in Year 12 (grade 12).  The only area where the kids are behind is subjects like Australian history.  Fortunately for the kids, and unfortunately for the citizens, the political system is the same as Canada, so that shouldn't be too much of a learning curve.

Tonight Nad and I are off to see John Cleese.  Tomorrow, I am flying out at 5am to go to the jobsite and then I'll return about 8pm.  I will likely be doing a silly walk by Friday.
