It’s going to be a beautiful day. I watched the sun rise into a completely cloudless sky. I moved my desk to the window for the winter, so as I type I can feel the warm sun on my face. I’m going to make time to get out for a long walk later.

Speaking of walking, I smiled to myself last night while reading VodkaB’s blog and her escapades in the wilds of Hong Kong while doing the AYP. Students from The Other Mr. Andaloo’s school are doing the same thing, though I’m sure on an easier level. A few weeks ago they went off for a weekend hike which brought them close to this village. One of their tasks was to cook an evening meal within certain constraints. We were just settling down for a Saturday evening at home when the phone rang, it was one of the students. She said they were all in a bar here in our village and would we like to join them for a drink. When he asked, “but aren’t you supposed to be roughing it tonight?” – she answered, “well, the rules say we had to cook a meal, it didn’t say we had to eat it so we’re having dinner in this bar”. I like that, that’s initiative.
