Peru, amongst other things...

YES! Peru was amazing. The culture, the history, the people, the clothes, the holiday and the mountains. It's hard to sum it up in a word. The whole experience was that of the once in a lifetime experience. Awesome. Particularly waking up in a tent, looking out the door and seeing snow, or clouds, or indeed, the Andes. I also had to contend with my bag not being put on my flight, sand flies, a swolen foot, a fever, antibiotics and the Peruvian security. What a great time we had - if you like that sort of thing!

It's been back to work this week for planning week. No actual planning done so far. Lot's of other stuff. I'll think about lessons, schemes of work etc soon. Got to think about Year Learning Leader stuff today. Plenty to be getting on with!

Going to Knaresborough at the weekend so see the Olds. Looking forward to it - must remember to take photo's. I'm going to the cinema too - don't know what to watch yet, but I'll post a review at some point. Speaking of which, I need to review Star Trek, Wolverine, Coraline, Monster Vs Aliens and Harry Potter 6. All films I've watched recently. I watched 5 films (but I can't remember the 5th) on the plane out to Peru. It is 12.5 hours to fly there!

A few thoughts about Avatar - James Cameron's 1st film since Titanic. The trailer makes the film look somewhat unfinished. However, I'm looking forward to a 3D film that isn't a crap children's movie. As for "photoreal" we'll have to wait and see. I think the "cinema changning" aspect of this film is the production of it, not necesarily the film itself. Roll on December - it's only taken 4 years to make!

Time to shower and get ready for another day of not planning and doing other just as useful stuff instead.

Over and out,

Timo
