Puppies

I was walking up the street to meet someone this afternoon and saw these cute puppies! Ok, some were a bit ugly but they were still cute. They do have pet shops here of course, so I found it quite funny that people just plonk down a little wire cage wherever they want, and sell puppies. I think Chris should buy one so I can have puppy visits.


I've had dinner at Wan Chi twice last week, once on Thursday after yet another Ikea trip (this time to price book shelves for the library since I have run out). I met Chris and Chris at Sabah, where they took me to last year and I loved it. I tried to take mum there but they were booked out. So I'm glad I got to go there again!

And on Friday night I went to the American Peking Restaurant which was absolutely beautiful. The principal and executive team invited all the new Bradbury staff. We had a great night, and it was really good for us newbies to get to know people a bit more. The bar afterwards had a great jukebox. When was the last time anyone got to use a jukebox??! How fun! I'm pretty sure the bar staff have now deleted the Glee CD due to overuse :-)

Today I met a friend of Chris', who happens to be the other teacher librarian in our cluster of ESF schools. Yes, there are 2 of us. It was great to meet her and talk shop, and I hope we see a lot more of each other. To have one other person who understands my job is a great support.

Meanwhile I was thinking of all my teacher friends last week during book week. For the last 16 years August has been my busiest month organising book week. I've only missed 2 dress up days, once when I was in hospital, and this year. It was a bit weird seeing photos on facebook when I wasn't part of it. I hope you all had fun!
