For We are Jolly Good Fellows!: December 2013
http://wearejollygoodfellows.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 7, 2013. Jumping out of a Perfectly Good Plane. James' (son) birthday is very soon, Lisa (wife) bought him a sky dive. As she couldn't be here, we were minding the kids and recording the event. So, what is it like - jumping out of a perfectly good plane? Here is the place to go . And of course there are forms to fill in and sign. And now his name is on the whiteboard - "James. T14" because he is jumping out (in tandem with an instructor) at 14 000 feet. Now we have quite a wait. And th...

Brisbane Master Class: December 2010
http://brisbanemasterclass.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Living in Brisbane city while doing our Masters at Wollongong. Saturday, December 18, 2010. Studies finished, time to head south. Despite the inclement weather . it rained most of the way as we drove to Orange (NSW) to visit our old friends S and C - with whom we also spent time with when we were in the UK. We spent three happy days with them in their country-style cottage, helping them look after three little girls. Lovely little spot to recover from the rigours of study and all that! We both got all cl...

Torquay Talkie: I Remember Sidmouth Beach
http://torquaytalkie.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-remember-sidmouth-beach.html
Teaching English in the seaside resort of Torquay on the south coast of Devon. Tuesday, December 11, 2007. I Remember Sidmouth Beach. It's been wet and windy and cold for about a week . well, what would you expect in winter in England? But then, suddenly, a sunny day! So we hopped in the car and went to see Sidmouth - our favourite summer beach spot back in the sixties. So there are really two beaches at Sidmouth. There's this one, the first one you come to. And in between - wonderful rock pools. Connaug...

Torquay Talkie: Great Little Town, Cullompton
http://torquaytalkie.blogspot.com/2007/12/great-little-town-cullompton.html
Teaching English in the seaside resort of Torquay on the south coast of Devon. Monday, December 10, 2007. Great Little Town, Cullompton. So then my brother John dropped in on his way from Germany back to Western Australia. So we went to have another look at our childhood home - Cullompton again. It's normal in these little Devon towns for the main street to be called Fore Street or High Street, but we found this amusing. I got to have another look at the church . Yup, there's the alley. And Roger Vey...

Teaching English in the seaside resort of Torquay on the south coast of Devon. Sunday, December 16, 2007. Time to Say Goodbye. Not exactly what we were expecting .

At the University of East Anglia, in Norwich. We start on January 7, so we have to get moving. University of East Anglia. View my complete profile. A Collection of T...

The British Job: Nothing is brighter than Brighton
http://britishjob.blogspot.com/2007/11/nothing-is-brighter-than-brighton.html
Back to Britain after Australia, China and Turkey. Friday, November 2, 2007. Nothing is brighter than Brighton. Charlotte picked us up at Brighton railway station - bags and all squeezed into her tiny red car - and we trundled along the scenic coastal route (a decision we all instantly regretted as we were soon tightly traffic jammed). We paused along the way to have an actual look at the actual beach at Brighton. Not quite Bondi, though, ay? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our Websites for ESL.

Torquay Talkie: Winter in Devon
http://torquaytalkie.blogspot.com/2007/12/winter-in-devon.html
Teaching English in the seaside resort of Torquay on the south coast of Devon. Monday, December 10, 2007. When we first arrived here a lot of the trees were losing their leaves . But not the oak in our back yard. Then slowly, slowly we watched the leaves change colour. Those leaves hung on and hung on . Eventually, a few of them fell, and most of them gravitated to the pond. But then we had a really wet weekend, with a lot of wind. A sunny winter's day. Time to stay indoors. So lots to do on the computer.

Howdi Saudi: Party Time!
http://howdisaudi.blogspot.com/2009/01/party-time.html
Teaching in Riyadh, the next stage of our adventure. Friday, January 30, 2009. Right after our last break - half a semester ago now - we had a party at Dar Al Uloom. It was to celebrate Eid - well, the holiday we had just had. There was a (very big) cake. Underneath that perfect creamy icing, half of it was chocolate and half was vanilla. It was a bit like Alice in Wonderland eating from two sides of the mushroom. And then there were drinks. And lots of other yummy foods. Even doughnuts, and Arabic coffee.
