....next time someone's teaching....

U-chit v gavarit Ruski (Learn to speak Russian)

The last night for the Russian visitors tonight....they're setting off at 3.00 a.m. for tomorrow's flight home.....about 13 hours flying time.

Lisa, The Head, Hebs, Corin and James and myself met them for dinner and a few drinks. We had a good time but the star of the show was undoubtedly hebs' son James. He was mothered by Larissa and Svetlana and given Russian chocolate by Ludmilla.

Hebs took this shot with my camera.....Svetlana had been teaching James some Russian words for the items on the table and writing them in cyrillic alphabet.....this high five was because James had managed to name all the items without reference to a crib sheet.

Once again it was sad to see them go.....but two of our staff are going out to Siberia in February with some of our pupils....and hopefully the Russians will be back next November....maybe one day I'll get to go again....but not before hebs gets her turn.

Now it's off to watch the last ever CSI Miami and the bed...up early for another Winter League fishing match at 6.00....the weather forecast is pants!
