Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog

Hello all just a quick end-of-the-week update!
I spent the first few days of the week being oggled at as I went around my soon to be workplaces, sitting in very hot offices talking to principals and leaving little sweat-pools on their lovely leather chairs... mmmm. one principal had his fan aimed at himself going full strength (doing terrible things to his combover) while the rest of us sweated it out. But all in all they seem like a friendly lot and most of the other teachers seem goodly too. They all do the oggling and then suddenly when I leave yell in English "good bye it was nice to meet you!"
So next Tuesday it will all begin. I have a kiwifruit, a kiwi and a weetbix box all lined up for my first day as a human computer.
In other news the heat is back with a vengeance. There were several nights earlier this week when I slept with a SHEET on one occasion I even closed the ranch-slider. But yesterday got up to 36 (although the mist never quite cleared) and I was splayed under the air conditioner for the better part of the evening.
One of my English teachers got me to read out her daughter's competition piece on video and pronounced me "most dramatic person". She then took me shopping and recommended all sorts of things that looked like dried entrails of toad and squid... some are quite tasty...
Righty, fireworks tomorrow!
Have a lovely weekend in all your corners of the world.

Thanks for the seaweed sympathy Debs and Fran! It has given me the courage to share my phobia with the youth of Oki (i have included it in the 'my secrets' section of the third year jepordy quiz)

Good to hear from you Alana! I don't think we are going to the tournament in October, we are going to somewhere in south Shimane on the 9th but i think it is just a friendly. Can you still swim in the sea now? These parts have been infested with jellyfish since Obon. Grrr.
