War of the Words - report from the frontline...

So we got together and battled with Boggle.

Followed by a round or two or three of "Dictionary".

3 clans gathered - the Macintyre Robinsons, the Sorrensons, and the vWs (tho we were more like half a clan - Lois in Syd and A in his bedroom, typing up an interview with yours truly).

A great time - very yummy arvo tea, bread, cheeses, salami, melon, pineapple lumps and apple/berry cake from Eve's pantry!

Good laughs - anyone know what a machan is??

Thanks to the folks who came, AND those who stayed away, nursing their lurgies...

Today a luvverly day at schule again...I just love seeing the happy, excited faces of the kids, and also the challenge of trying to spark up my colleagues!

Kirsty was back today, so we had 3 music teachers, plus honorary music teacher Ben Swann...for someone who has not taught the subject before (he's science, PE, etc.) he does amazingly well.

Band battle on Thursday - kids piling into the Whare Puuoro at lunchtime to practice for their gig.

Recording sesh on Wed - oh, nearly forgot...haircut no.4!

Love,

G.

  1. McIntyre-Robinsons actually! It was a very enjoyable afternoon - and we never did get to the Scrabble! Hope you did get to the reports though!

  2. A machan is more like a flan than a cheesecake, although some have likened it unfavourably to a crusty pizza. Best shared using natural lighting, but with good artificial illumination close to hand. If you had one you'd need to keep it out of reach of your cat. That's really important, because it wouldn't be healthy if the cat got to it. No, sir! Lots of people forget that cats can climb trees, so it needs to be reeeally out of reach. On top of a fridge would only be OK if your cat is really piddly, and by that I mean small, not that it likes to leak a lot.

  3. Apologies for spelling, microbes!
    And I hope Roseanne wasn't offended at that initial outburst!
    I intended to perpetuate the intergalactic theme, but forgot....

  4. Please reread. I believe my description is true, although perhaps not very accurate.
