A quick send there to see if the miraculous connection would work. I'm trying to make hay whilst the connection is still there, so apologies for the lack of proof reading.

Tuesday am.....

Just to finish my thoughts on breakfast and I don't want to repeat myself from the past, but it really is a up there for the award of destroying a rainforest award and least efficient process of how to give 100 children milk. In a nutshell, the cereal is all in individual packets and to prise some more milk out of the kitchen is as painful as going through the new Twickenham high street lights (topical). Once I had ranted for the upteenth time to the other teachers about why they carried breakfast   out like this we set on our way to Rouen (just over an hour).

The Kingswood instructors give us a tour of Rouen in 4 groups. My guide was fantastic, Mr Campbell was very sceptical about his but I think it's fair to say he won Mr Campbell round, although they did lose 10 minutes of their shopping time for not being in the most perfect of lines! (Kingswood rules not Mr Campbell's). After a very interesting 2 hour tour, we sat down to have our packed lunch. Some local dogs came to visit and without sharing too much detail I think the French care a little too much for their pets after they've just been to the toilet, the personal touch and pampering of the behind regions was witnessed by all the teachers and one lucky child- who joined in our wide mouths and hysterical laughing, I'll let our sprint challenge winning girl tell you more on her return. Talking of the same child; herself and her siamese twin of a best friend are not in my good books. I was enjoying a very nice 40 winks on the way back from Rouen and they preceeded to play a clapping game for over 20 minutes which only existed of 3 lines over and over again. My rest was interrupted and revenge will be sort. The personal mobile devicies are coming in very useful on the coach as the dvd player is not working all the way through.

Shopping time needs to be mentioned as we renewed our yearly partnership between the sweet shop and Twickenham dentists. There was some surprise restraint from some of the children in it, although none was shown from lots of the girls in Claire's accessories. The shocking sun glasses have made a very early appearance this year- Eu market on Friday will be suffering for a depression for years. A few children have blown their weekly budgets today with some frivilous spending.
The children have just started their pre dinner activities of french games and team tech. I'm going to have a punt on bread being on the menu at dinner tonight.

The weather has been overcast and a bit breezy at times but no rain. Miss Stout was very concerned about the the possibility of sun burn this morning (16c is warm for up north) but amazingly we have all managed to escape through the thick cloud and wind!

Probably won't get back on later. The evening activity is mini olympics, which from past experience will be mini-chaos of the not so Olympic variety.
