Yesterday we went to the wedding of a friend’s daughter. It was a typical Korean wedding, in that it was in a busy wedding hall with other marriages taking place too. We said congratulations to the mother and father of the bride and headed to the buffet to find my fiances university friends. I was disappointed not to see the bride’s dress or the ceremony, but pleased he could talk with his friends, sone of whom he’d not seen for many years. I’d like him to experience a Scottish wedding someday. We Scots know how to party!

Today I am just resting, due to having a throat virus. I feel very weak and achy. A lot of the kids and teachers at school are sick so I was almost guaranteed to get it. I don’t have the energy to write, so instead I will read, as I know reading is important for a writer, and also it’s enjoyable. I want to read as widely as possible and would welcome any book recommendations people might have.

    Today was graduation day for the kindergarten kids. It went well. We had rehearsed a lot, so on the whole it went without a hitch. The children all got their awards and bowed and then sang a song by Bruno Mars called The Day My Life Begins. It was bittersweet. The mothers and fathers all…

    Well my days off have ended and I was back at work today. Luckily there are two free periods on a Thursday so it wasn’t a total shock to the system. I was able to ease back in. Tomorrow is a full day but it’s almost the weekend. I didn’t do the things I’d planned…
