New A4 “How are you?” Cards & School Plays

Had a good day today, got lots of computer work done, and had time to answer lots of really good emails. A couple of things that came through were about doing plays in schools and a request for A4 versions of the How are you? Game cards e.g. Wet, Thirsty etc. You know it would…

ipods and stuff

Apple must have a heck of a lot of people listening to podcasts on their site. The GE High School / Adults Podcast ( it seems more teachers are using it for high school rather than adult classes so that’s what I’m calling it until I think of a funky name), keeps getting more and…

In the middle of a forest

Some days I may complain, and some I’m really happy, but one thing’s for sure, my job isn’t your usual office job. After spending however long in shorts and a t-shirt, working on the beach or down by the river, today I find myself in the middle of a forest in a ski resort! And…
