have to go on foodtrail. humdeeho. missing more than 2/3 of band pracs. oh well.

nothing interesting happened in may so far, so i'm not going to do an accumulative post like i did for april unless you want to know about chionging LA portfolio & doing a record number of sudokus/wordsearches during sabbaticals. well i suppose there was chinese midyears which were good :), horrible horrible assembly performance, spiderman 3, ne quiz (fun), midsummer night's dream, ldp celebration outing (minds cafe! love.), band demo, aldersgate youth seminar, lynette's birthday!, affective education, iHope eagles youth conference.

okay so there WERE quite a few interesting things. we lead such colourful lives don't we!
