The Langoliers
Managed to stay awake through both parts. Great film. We've always had a soft spot in our family for Dean Stockwell since Quantum Leap

Question
Olivier is now into American football. Who won this years Super Bowl?

Answer

A Kanga ruler.
The Report card
I've added a new blog. Someone else who teaches English as a foreign language. This blog makes me feel better, as his school is even worse, when it comes to organization, than mine.

It's stopped
It snowed steadily for eight hours. There isn't a huge pile because it never really went below zero all day. Olivier and Dom got soaked making a snowman, Eugene McFloyd, whose nose has dropped off. The dryer is full of smelly wet hats and gloves.

There were no buses this afternoon so I couldn't get in to see Lionel about next week, he gave me as many details as he could over the phone and promised to let me know if any one else booked in this afternoon. How much do you want to bet I turn up on Monday to find I've got an extra pupil and nothing prepared for their level.

Rob doesn't know how he'll get home, hopefully they'll put some buses on this evening.
Question
To yesterday's answer:
What do you call a sheep with no legs?

New question
What's 12" long and jumps all over Australia?
It's snowing!
we only get snow around once every four years here so you'll have to forgive us dancing around and getting excited. It's been snowing for two hours and everything is white. Olivier and I managed to drive back from the supermarket before it started sticking to the road. Rob just phoned to ask me if I thought it was blowing into the roof; I don't think so. There are no legal requirements in our region to build snow proof houses.

Did you get them right? Here's the answer to another one. What's the question?

A ball of wool.
Had a lovely walk to the post office; cold, sunny and blue skies. As I was walking I thought up a really good post for here. Forgot about it straight away. Not much happening on the home front: Olivier is slowly taking over the American football league. Not bad considering he didn't have a clue a few days ago and has learnt the game as he goes along. Dom has been popping out to see friends. she gave her first maths lessons this week. Fortunately her pupil was as keen on maths as she is and they both thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

I would continue but blogger keeps disappearing
