Googliser



Today has been quite a long day. My brilliant friend Nina very kindly lent me her spare car so that I could do all I needed to do. Went and taught my form three student - going over IGCSE biology papers as he is writing exams this coming week. The multiple choice seems harder with some questions you really have to think carefully over. From teaching I went to pick up two frames for the photo booth at the Convent Old Girls' lunch at Alo Alo. Once I got to the restaurant it was all systems go as I was the chief photographer. I need to edit some of the photos as the lighting wasn't great as it was overcast and indoors. The lunch seemed to be a success, bringing together old girls from many different generations, nuns and then past and present staff. Shaleigh on our committee had done an amazing job obtaining wonderful raffle prizes. I won a cut and blow dry that I might give to my mum. We also had a 50/50 raffle where if you paid in cash you stood a chance to win half the takings - with the current situation in the country this was a big hit.

From the luncheon I headed across to the airport but before I did I phoned the airport to check on the arrival time of the Emirates flight. I nearly had heart failure when I thought they said 15.55 as it was now 16.20 but luckily they had said 16.55. I didn't have to wait too long in the arrivals hall and it turned out my clients were Swiss French. They spoke a little slower than the previous guests who were from Paris. When they were sorting out getting a local SIM card I thought it amusing when the lady said "Je peux googliser George Clooney - il marche!"
