It is starting to feel like the end of the holidays - cool, rainy weather, the refurbishments and maintenance work around school slowly winding up and getting tidier, classrooms being reassembled and looking clean - some with fresh paint. And today, staff kids in abundance on campus as staff begin preparing for the new school year. Our kids had a lot of fun this morning running round the grounds playing with some of the older staff kids. It meant I got a lot done so I was thankful. We had lunch - pork adobo for the girls. More play (more work). Then we went swimming and it rained and we got out just before the thunder and really heavy rain. The children were very glad to be active and out of the house this morning and this was the best morning we've had for a while. They are wanting more structure and variation on our activities.
Our new staff are trickling in and orientation for them begins on Monday. Thursday we all take off for our staff retreat. We seem to have a skeleton staff for middle and high school this year and some are still trying to raise enough support to be here for the start of the year.

Hey school is only just out here but it is also rainy and only about 15 - 18 degrees.
Financial restrictions are tough all around people are frightened to commit for fear of what is around the corner. I think is says somewhere about mens hearts failing for fear!! and about the destruction of the market places they trusted in.
