busy day for all today.  kezia had her third photo course.  this one was on using flash and was really excellent.  i managed to sneak this picture (above) from the side of the room with my compact camera while kezia was busy shooting down the front with my camera!

noey was meant to be out for the day with all the Thai students but we got a call half an hour before we were due to drop her off to saying the trip was cancelled because someone had forgotten to book the bus.  but then they phoned again later to say they now had a bus and could we get Noey to school as soon as possible!   so we did. 

i think she had a good day, but when we went to pick her up at 4pm someone told us the bus had broken down on the motorway 5 minutes walk from the school, but because it was the motorway they couldn’t get off.  so instead they had to wait for a rescue bus.  long story short, we went home without her and someone dropped her off around 6.30ish i think.

she also did preparing for a work colleague and her husband who came round this evening which was very nice.  we’re getting a bit more in to the habit of having people round.
