The Spittals meet the Royalty

Today one of the Princes of Saudi Arabia visited the school and came into my physics class. I was introduced to a Royal Prince and shook his hand. "How do you do Mr Dave", he said. A Royal Prince calling me Mr Dave, how cool is that? I have just finished a bit of private tutoring at £36 per hour (tax free remember) and there is lots more where that came from if I want it. I could easily do 2 sessions per evening at that rate if I wanted the work. I am not sure how much time I want to devote to private work though so we will wait and see. It's the son of one of the teachers here who goes to another school on the island. I didnt really want to refuse and the money will come in handy!

By the way, it is worthy of note that I saw clouds again today! They just scudded across the sky but it was lovely to see their white fluffyness as they passed on by. Sheila is working late at a meeting so I am just waiting for her now.

Bye for now
David

  1. Not long back from the club colin won tonight he had a good game. we then watched the ladies pairs so it was pretty dark by the time they finished.glad to hear you shook hands with royalty that doesn't happen often I bet unless he is a regular visit.We have had a lot of rain tday but it cleared up this evening and they got it fair while playing.I think I might apply for a job too if thats the sort of rates they pay mind you home-helps will likely get sweety money. Dave watching football at the moment fair excited as raith are 2 1 up against aberdeen latest score of course.I had a phonecall from michael asking for advice on how to make celery soup ,he made mushroom soup yesterday his room mate moved in yesterday.
