Today was quite a physical strain. Up early for teaching my monthly math morning. But before I left, got a nice email from Australia. Looks like the dates will be June 2 - 29, paperwork to follow. A nice semi-sunny bike ride to the school, and prep for class.
In the four months my class has shrunk from 20 to 11 to 9 to 7 today. 20 was actually a manageable group, since I am used to closer to 30. Having 7 was kind of strange, but other classrooms are similarly bare, and our Asst. Principal confirmed that we had about 1/3 of the registered attendance from our school. Stuck around for an extra 1/2 hour to make sure I was at the computer for the closing of the auction for my RAF jacket. Yay! Pretty well outfitted now.
Bike ride home, I felt a lot stronger than usual. I think some is the non-bike leg training at the gym. I get to work muscles that cooperate with my riding muscles, but give the main ones a rest.
Once home, mowing the front, then the back yards. Got to sit down finally at about 3pm. Wife and girls also did some yard work, edging the front sidewalks and curb, and sweeping up, so we are a tired bunch right now.
And just got ANOTHER email from Australia asking if it is possible for me to fly out of Nashville. This is not uncommon, as the 3 hour drive can cut quite a bit off fares, due to more competition in the market. Just might be a situation of taking a 3 hour drive to take a 26 hour series of flights, then a 10 hour bus ride (there might not be a flight from Perth to Monkey Mia on the day I arrive, so a bus would get me there sooner - but going home I probably get to fly, and even have a small layover).
