Fair weather Friday

Hola a todos
I really should have my name enscribed on the back of this chair as I keep it warm most days.
Yep, back at the computer doing my daily blog lest y'all there in NZ wonder what has been happening.
A reasonably quiet day today, up a little earlier, had a great sleep (hurrah) and off to school to teach music to two junior classes. The first class (third grade) is learning {A Pukeko In a Ponga TRee) the second class is younger so tried the Pukeko song then switched to If YOu're Happy which went down really well. After a quick trip down the road it was back to school to sit in on a couple of English classes. Actuallly sit in on doesn't quite describe it, more like take the lesson and give a talk on NZ, not that I minded at all, it was fun. THe students were 5th and 7th formers and were really interested. Now one of the teachers wants me to prepare some questions about my talk for the students on Monday.
If I'm to be honest, it was a relief to speak English. Doesn't happen often which is a good thing. Miriam (teacher of English) wanted to know when we were going out on the town? Yay! sounds like a really good idea to me. Hope that will happen soon.
All study and no play makes VIv a very dull girl!!
Tomorrow is the day we go to Brazil, when I asked the students today what I should buy they were full of many wonderful ideas but I will have to be careful as my bag already weighs 20 kgs and they will make me pay a fortune for excess baggage!
Last night Monica and I went to the Public school. THere were 36 17 year olds in the class. I bet they know more about the realities of life than I ever hope to. I have taken a couple of photos and when I can work out how to post them on the net you will see what I am talking about. They ask me questions in Spanish and I have to reply in kind as their English is limited to greetings. They were all really wanting to come to NZ until they found out the price of cigarettes!!! Most of them smoke and did not want to pay kiwi prices. Actually the food here is quite a bit cheaper than home, not always as good a quality but if you shop around you can get good stuff.
That's my day folks, hope you are well, drop me a line, I love to hear news from NZ
Cheers
