Hi from London

Greetings everyone! Happy holidays to all my teacher friends (remember I’m not one of you anymore, so you'd better enjoy.) How are the rest of you? I know the weather has been quite mild, except for Toowoomba of course. We have obviously had some excitement in our lives this past week, although it’s certainly resulted in a desperate bout of homesickness. It seems everyone but us has met my lovely new nephew Charlie. Simon and I were absolutely thrilled with his arrival. After seemingly taking so long to get around to being born, he was suddenly in a tremendous hurry. ... more

Hi from London

Well, it’s taken a while, but the Elverys are finally connected to this thing you people call “the internet”. Simon and I moved to Bayswater on the 28^th March, so it’s only taken the efforts of two very small, not-for-profit companies called Virgin and British Telecom to get us up and running. Eighty-one days: longer than it takes to go around the world, but less time than it took to build the Pyramids. We already think Jiselle and Tony's baby is both clever and thoughtful.

Hi from London

Hi to everyone! Thanks for the great news from home. Sarah and Pat, your emails are great and my RSHS staffroom pals, thanks for keeping me posted.

We managed to catch a replay of the first, albeit disappointing State of Origin at a Walkabout pub. The UEFA cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea in Moscow was on the same night ... more

Another installment from Laura

Hello everyone! We hope you're all well. Many thanks for keeping us up to date on your comings and goings. Happy birthday to all the many April babes. Well, mum and dad left two Mondays ago and I’ve been missing them ever since! Before they came over I had been missing Jiselle and the bub the most because I had mum and dad’s trip to look forward to. But Simon and I had such a fantastic time with them that’s probably made it difficult to return to normal life. Our friend Susan is a brilliant friend, not least for the ... more

Short and Sweet

I'm currently listening to Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head. It's giving me a warm fuzzy feeling inside and making me feel like hugging everyone. We're going to see them live in June thanks to Tony and/or Jiselle for being on the ball and snatching tickets before they all sold out. Splendour tickets go on sale very soon too. I'm determined not to miss them this year!
