DAY 428

It's mango season in India and I think I'm right in saying that there's a bit of a surplus because the EU has decided they're importing them because of the risk of fruit flies. More for us!

DAY 427

As promised, here is one of the roads in Delhi that is lined with Amaltas trees - apparently also known as 'golden showers'. This is Amrita Shergill Marg, named after a famous Punjabi artist. You can read more about her here.

DAY 426

Oslo's class had an end of term party at the bowling alley at the American Embassy (Yes. They have a bowling alley). Look at Oslo's friend Ye-Won jumping on the left - she'd just scored her fourth spare, having never bowled before. She's six.

DAY 424

A very sensible sign at the High Commission. Andrew - shall I see if I can nick it and we can put it up somewhere prominent on the street?

DAY 423

I was in Chennai this week, working on our portfolio of digital resources for teachers and learners in India. This seems liked a suitable photo - it's in the restaurant of the hotel we stayed in. I've only just noticed the pattern on his clothing.

DAY 422

For the last few weeks, Oslo's class has been incubating eggs and learning about the life cycle of a chicken. A few days ago they finally hatched and here they are in the brooder. Before chicks, they did snails and before snails they studied worms. Luckily the year ends at the end of the month, otherwise who knows what they'd do next.
