To be honest, this has been a quiet and mostly ordinary week, but just so people don't think we've dropped off the edge of the world, here's a shout-out to you faithful readers!! THANKS for checking our blog!! :-) The temperatures have been hovering just above freezing during the day, so some of our snow is starting to melt, but it really is a slushy mess everywhere we have to walk. We even found an alternate route (not the shortcut) to the Basic School for lunch, which avoids most puddles and deep slush piles! My boots, unfortunately are not completely water-proof, I've discovered recently. LOL!!
Sunday night was filled with Skyping, which always makes us happy!! Monday night is the new night for school/church volleyball. Tuesday night I had fun with Eva and Tana at their English lesson. And tonight we decided to NOT go anywhere because of the slush we'd have to walk through outside! We're actually glad the forecast is for colder temperatures soon, so we can walk on solids instead of liquids - HAHAHA!!
This week at school has been a little busier with extra subbing for classes. Since five teachers are gone on the ski trip, and a couple other English teachers have been absent for a day (or three), we've all pitched in to cover classes as assigned. (Remember, they don't hire substitute teachers here!) It can be fun to meet new students, or to have extra time with a favorite class. :-)
Sorry about "no photos" yet again, but we hope that situation will be remedied soon. Tuesday at school, Katarina did us a favor and telephoned the shop in Ružomberok that was a suggestion for camera repair. She talked to them about our camera and found out their business hours for us. So we took the train there after school, found the shop, left the camera to be repaired, checked around for some school supplies at several shops, had a relaxing cup of tea, got groceries at a store right by the train station (to save a trip through slush back in L.M.), then came back in time for my adult students. It was a productive trip!
Check back over the weekend - maybe there will be news on the camera by then! :-)
