OK we have done it. We have both endured the dreaded moment when you get introduced individually to the entire staff and have to stand up and look around them all feeling pretty stupid. Its a kind of initiation ceremony that takes place in all schools. I am pleased to say that the natives were very friendly and the day was enjoyable. After the ritual Sheila went back to grafting in the office and I had a few meetings as you do on what was the first official day back for the rest of the staff.
The house hunting began in a gentle way with lots of teachers making suggestions about properties near them and some of them offering to drive us round. We will be taking them up on that offer soon. We tried to have a look round ourselves after school today but it is pretty hopeless unless you know where you are going. It is so easy to get lost. My sense of direction is getting better but it I am unsure if I'll ever get to know this island, small as it is.
Well off to the shopping mall to try to get a new school bag. My Roy Cropper shopper is a bit embarrasing.
Cheers for now
David and Sheila
