Joined the workforce.........eventually.

Hi all,
Sorry we've been off the radar for a couple of days. The holiday is officially over and we're all exhausted. We're back at work and the girls are at school.
Despite a wobbly start, Erin now seems to be enjoying herself. She has made some friends. Strangely one of them is called Erin. Just to confuse matters further, Becky has chummed up with Rebecca! Slowly, they're learning the way around the school and the curriculum. Erin had her first history elective lesson today. It was on the Tudors. She loved it. Her form tutor bought the girls pizza and ice pops for lunch on their first day! Becky's pronunciation of the word 'fluffy' has been particularly poplar with the Aussie girls who keep getting her to say it over and over.

As for Nath and I, we're chasing our tails. Those of you who know me personally, know I have absolutely no sense of direction, (talking of which, the girls have been hounded by one direction fans who have asked them if they know the lads personally!). Anyway, I spend half the time wandering around, trying to look like I know where I am going when in reality, I am just about keeping the lid on my panic at being completely lost on the way to a lesson! Nath seems to be distressed by me complaining that my air conditioned classroom is too cold. I wonder what is problem is as his brow pours and his pit rings expand - he has no air con!

We're both enjoying the bagpipes and drums which accompany our entrance to our place of work every morning. Surreal and yet already normality. We're also both enjoying the free tea and coffee, cake, sandwiches and fresh fruit every recess. It's hard work. It's daunting. It's challenging. But it's also exciting and I am sure that a year from now, we'll look back and laugh!

Have a lovely weekend.
