Projectors
It is Saturday, 11 am in the morning here and after a busy week I have just woken up! Robyn is currently out being taken on a city tour by some university students which she is doing extra curricular activities during weekdays. This last week has been our busiest so far, as part of my duties I have to host an hour 'workshop', on Wednesdays for all the secondary school staff of the company. This takes ages to organize and sort out, always taking up a fair bit of time.
On Thursday I went to Robyns school to host a 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' quiz during lunchtime. All was going well at first, we had a big projector hooked up and the quiz was projected onto a big screen, kids loved it, really getting involved, all was going well... That was untill it became apparent that we were going to have four teams all winning the main prize. This would not do as we did not have enough chocolate to go around. Suddenly just before the last question was shown on the screen I had an idea! lets make the last question worth 50 points, and the winning team the first to raise their answer cards! This would mean we would have only one clear winner! I suddenly stood in front of the projector to stop the final question being displayed... thats when it all went wrong. Projected onto my crotch was suddenly a small circle of light, not particularly funny but in a room full of teenage girls it was the funniest thing in the world. Lesson has been learnt, mental note for classroom management has been made.
Anyway, tomorrow we are going to the beach again. Hope everyone is ok back home :)

how long did it take to realise what the girls were laughing at. very funny ben dad and i thought too. glad all seems to be going well with you both. all fine here sorry we werent around with the msn yesterday. dad is getting me walking again. 2 hours around the hill! speak later x
good! you need to practice walking for when you come out to Hong Kong! many different walks around here :)
we're drying out now - nothing to do with laughing at Ben's moment in the spotlight - the flood we had left us with damp concrete floors, so we now have almost as many fans as Robyn! Do I need to get Sam in training for HK she's a bit useless on hills - more of a micra than a land rover!!
Right I'll stop now before I get myself into too much trouble.
Love

yes there are a fair few hills around here. Rumour has it tht there is the most amazing beach tucked away on the outskirts of honkers. You need to trek an hour through jungle to get there but once over the peak its the best beach in the area!

hills? what. I dont do hills.
And apparently Dad doesn't do commas...
I prefer to think of myself more of a classic beetle but I don't really think I'm high maintenance enough.......
Well spotted Rob, with regards to your dad's punctuation. Nice to get one up on the folks from time to time isn't it???!!
Robyn, you should know me better! The lack of commas was an intentional grammatical tool (ok ok I can't think of the right expression here, a thingy like what poets do.) to emphasise the number of events we have coming up in quick succession.

Ok, so if you don't put spaces in the words run off the page!
