Well have now nearly been living in Stendal for 6 weeks and a few more days which means that 2 weeks time I am already half way through my stay here. Arranging things to go home because I don't think I will be flying this time but rather going with the car and then the boat - awesome because of luggage allowance/no luggage allowance.
School is going ok - am still preparing the year 4 kids for their Cambridge University test. It is proving fun and also means I am getting to know the kids and their personalities very well now. It's also really nice when you turn up in the morning and can say hi to the other kids who are on their bikes too. Some of the things they tell me are most entertaining. One of the lads said today that he knew who Henry VIII was and that he was a very man because he had so many women. So this resulted in a conversation about the royal family and me researching who everyone was. Yesterday was music and the kids get to choose which songs they want to learn. The boys are going to be learning TNT by AC/DC and the girls will be learning Single Ladies by Beyonce. Oh the sheer entertainment i wish I had had a camera.
Today the kids had their bike test which involved the local police and also the German version of the RAC. It was properly like a test - the bikes got checked, they had to do a written test and also do some other quick tests. Then of course the most important was to make sure that they did the course correctly and in a sufficient time! Most proper. One of the girls was quite upset though because I think she either went the wrong way or overtook somebody which she should not have done.
I was at home over Easter which was really nice and weirdly it felt like it was time to go home - oh well this is the last stretch of my journey here in Germany for now. Who knows what the future may hold for me? It was nice to spend time with mum and also get to know the new cat Inga. She was in the RSPCA home for about 6 months and just needed to break free *insert Queen's I want to break free here*. She is such a sweet cat but I think that she will stay indoors most of the time. She is getting to know Stella but I don't think there have been any fights yet - I was there when they first met and Ms Inga was growling a fair bit. Oh well.
Over the weekend am going back to Bonn. Am really looking forward to going back and being able to see everyone again.
Bis spaeter - tschuess!
