What a week!

This was a funny week... We had roasting hot weather, then really cold windy and wet days - it's completely unpredictable...

So, this week what's been happening;

We had an intersting incident on Tuesday morning with our fire alarm deciding to ring throughout the school. It was being childish and stubborn and wouldn't let anyone reset it! Luckily, Tuesday morning was one of the warmer morning and so the students and teachers all went across the road to "English in the Park". Acutually, we had the alarm silenced by 09H00 but I tink the students were more than happy to be in the park for a few hours.

Nothing to do with the school, but our Taoiseacht (the Irish Prime Minister) was re-elected yesterday for the 3rd time and starts running the country again today. He has been our Taoiseacht for the past 10 years and will quite possibly be here for another 5 years. I'm not going say anything more about that other than there are more important things to be worrying aboout like for example the big nexs of the week which is that

Hari's Leaving! Hari Gupta, our favorite Australian Teacher is leaving us to go to like with his lovely little family in Mexico! Hari has been an absolutely great addition to the Annalivia Family and everyone will be sad to see him leave. Today is his last official day but he'll be in and out of the school for the next few weeks. We took a few pictures of him today which you can check out on http://www.annaliviaschool.com/annaliviaschool/Main/photo.htm (The t-shirt was a present for him)

Last thing that might be of interest is that tomorrow is Blooms Day. which is an annual celebration among Joyce fans throughout the world. It is celebrated in at least sixty countries worldwide, but nowhere so imaginatively, of course, as in Dublin and specifically in Sandycove and Dun laoghaire. There the events of Leopold Bloom's day are reenacted by anyone who cares to participate, and his itinerary is followed all across Dublin. Diane has arranged a social outing to participate in the events and has a BBQ arranged afterways in the beach...

Let's see what the weather has in store for us...
