Ready for the weekend

Every "last Friday of the week" is a good one! The weekend is here! With class ending at 12:30 PM one cannot complain. Another (short) day with unfinished bookreports which were due at the beginning of the week, but a day with excellent test results for those in their final year. And they can use a few good marks alright! That's for sure!

Planning a great X-mas dinner party for our complete staff shortly before the Christmas holidays. That will be a fun evening. A Caribbean Party in the middle of winter,.. can you picture that? We'll be turning the one of the greenhouses on our schoolgrounds into a (sub)tropical location and cranck up the temperature.

The place will have all the necessary ingredients: a small beach for volleyball and badminton, a swimming pool for those colleagues who cannot resist showing their six-packs and hairy chests (a diving board is still being negociated), beach chairs, a cocktail bar, BBQs, steel drums, a large buffet, beer barrels, limbo dancing, parrots, flamingos,...

This weekend will be a busy one. The fun-band I play in has four gigs tomorrow. And not just in our home town! We'll be driving all over the place. It's "Sinterklaas"-time... (Saint Nicholas). A very popular celebration for the kids!

Tonight rehearsal with the other lot. Getting ready for the new programme. Great music! Lots of horns!
