Leaving on a jet plane
We are going to Adelaide tomorrow. Graham is going over to work, so Jess and I are going with him. I'm looking forward to it so much, to have a look at city and to relax. The only downside is that I don't have a computer, so I will have to haunt internet cafes. I have a nephew there who is a computer wiz, so maybe he will see a lot of his aunt over the next week or so. I’m taking all my drawing materials so I can spend some time designing etc. and Jess is taking her painting materials.
On a more serious note, I had lunch today with some old teaching friends. The conversation got around to a principal that we worked under together. He is still there at the school but he still behaves the same way as he did when we were there. He does not support or value his staff in any way, if you have grey hair than he actively seeks to get rid of you, he passes off colour comments to female members of staff and his comments in the staffroom make people feel very uncomfortable. (They are usually of a sexual nature)The union have been involved a few times at the school, and complains have been made to the education department but he is still there. Why? Maybe I shouldn’t have written that but sometimes things seem very unfair and unjust.
Anyway I had better go to bed; I have plenty to do in the morning. Cleaning and packing.

Maybe you and Jess could do the tourist thing and take lots of great photos? Sounds like a relaxing holiday, but I bet you would like to tuck a laptop under your arm and CREATE! Have a great holiday! :)
