Cherries & birthdays

Well they're nowhere near ripe yet, but showing promise outside red & pink classrooms; plums in the yard swelling. Hot & very sweaty cloudy; rainy season here?

My bike needs fixing - spoke, axles, and chain so I drove, which took 15 minutes longer. Spent last night at my school's new location imagining the rooms from a teaching perspective. Compared to our previous venues, squeezing large pegs into tiny holes; but needs must and a healthy paring of resources due. The actual teaching space worries me, especially if we do (we will) attract more YLs and need floor space. Our old school has that in abundance, but we must move before we all go mad!

Birthday day today - for the month - which is a nice idea, sharing the glory and not bigging-up one particular kid at a time.

A student teacher (do they all have to make their own naff anime character apron's as a project or something?) introduces herself during the show - a full school event in the hall, birthday mums (rarely a dad) clutching phones as cameras, often video cameras in the other hand too! She wisely plays piano to familiar tune. Instant success! Welcome Rina Sensei.
