Fort Albany, Tuesday August 23, 2011

There’s a simply spectacular lightning show going on outside my window at the moment. It’s dancing across the sky and lighting up the clouds so they make a really striking silhouette, nearly looking like mountains on the horizon. There’s no rain and only a whisper of thunder. As tomorrow’s the first day of school, shall I look on this as a warning or a celebration? It’s getting closer and I think I can feel the rumbling rather than hear it now. Almost like a train.
 
My bags are still MIA so it looks as though I’m going into the first day of school wearing my travelling clothes. I hope none of the kids are too much taller than I am. Oh dear. I’ll be in my socks. Students and teachers alike are not to wear their outdoor shoes in the school. We can have either indoor shoes or socks. It’s a beautiful building and I suppose they’re trying to protect the floors. So far, I must say they’ve been successful. The artwork hanging in the hallways are truly where it’s at though.  Unfortunately the incredibly talented artists who made it all possible, have both since passed away.



Well tomorrow is a new day and although I may need some luck to get through it, I may need even more to be able to fall asleep through this – it’s right overhead now and it’s lighting up my whole room.
