Back in Oman

We arrived home on Monday about 12.30 after our two hour drive from the airport. That night I had a meeting. The school's sponsor has offered 7 scholarship places to Omani students covering the cost of their education from now until the end of university. Tuesday was spent at school from 7.45-3.15 testing likely candidates then on til 6pm deliberating on the final seven. Great experience to be part of. Wednesday spent some time at school setting up the class and head teacher came in with new couch, new apple tv and screen! Yay! We also have a new playground underway including an amphitheatre and a place for goats ...... of course! Will take some pics next week.

We are all pleased to be home and in our own space again. One of Taya's friends is back already so there has been a sleepover. Kam still on his own but using the time to make good progress with his math and French that was set for the holidays.

I've finally broken down and bought a laptop. The iPad was too small to do anything constructive and although we are not allowed laptops at school I feel better already!

Some pics I took from my camera when we were in Holland. This was at the camping ground and the day of my birthday.

 

These pictures are from a parade of traditional Holland that Taya and I saw while staying with Louisa in Schagen.
