- I have a visitorThe car has passed its MOT inspection at last. Brake hoses replaced and new number plates. I lobbed up to the inspection and drove in. The inspector had me turn the wheel all the way to the left - lookie Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 19, 2011
- Enjoying my leisureThis week is my week of “nothing much” before the serious tourism starts and I’m not really sure that I was looking forward to it. What would I do with myself all day?? Living in your own home, there is Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 15, 2011
- Fleet foxes concert in BelfastHiya all, Hope everyone is keeping well. I'm writing this on Sunday the 10th of July. Not a great looking day out but not raining so not too bad. I took two days off last week (friday and Posted by Smith11 in My adventures in the Motherland | Jul 10, 2011
- "Home" with trivial pursuitsThe drive home from camp was completed successfully. I had shared the banking duties with Amanda, a local girl, and she recommended a way home that was not the one set in the GPS. The "normal" route heads into Belfast Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 10, 2011
- What is Mr Tayto's first name?Last full day of camp today and it dawned fine and beautiful. I even opened up a window this morning to let in the fresh air. The rooms here seem to be almost hermetically sealed for fire safety purposes, and Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 7, 2011
- Half way through summer campWednesday already? My day on duty has ended so could lie in bed for a while. Finally rose about 10 past 8 with breakfast at the normal 9am. I decided to take some time to myself today so went down to Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 6, 2011
- If it's raining, it must be Ireland (Northern)I’m one of three teachers on duty today, so had the responsibility of waking up “early”. I did wake at 7:30, but that was plenty of time to get ready before banging on dorm doors at 8:30 for a 9am Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 6, 2011
- Let's enter the enchanted forestWhy are there no vegetables? First full day of camp and already my digestive system is crying out for vegetables. Dinner last night was a slice of pizza (no vegetables on it) and potato wedges (spuds are glue, not vegies.) Breakfast Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 6, 2011
- Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to Castlewellan we goSunday evening and I already feel as though I am miles from Coleraine. The weekend has been quite eventful since I came home from the wedding late Friday night. Saturday morning I cleaned the house and started getting ready for Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 6, 2011
- I'm all going on a summer holiday.School finished at noon on Wednesday and now there are 8 weeks of summer before we all have to go back. Finishing on a Wednesday really blew my mind. All Thursday, I really struggled to remember what day it was. Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jul 2, 2011
- Hi ho, hi ho, It's halfway through I go.Greetings all. Today marks the halfway point in my year in Northern Ireland. Relativity is alive and well, as the last 6 months seem to have flown, but the next 6 months look like taking ages. Luckily, the summer holidays Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jun 26, 2011
- Retail Therapy in BelfastInteresting week at school and in the country this week. As mentioned previously, I'm going to Summer Camp where the boys who start at the school in August all meet each other and do team building activities and so on.

- Ulster American Folk ParkHave just had a lovely day at the Ulster American Folk Park here in Northern Ireland, after a pretty grim week at school. The boys are fully aware that exams are over, the grades are posted and what they do Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jun 12, 2011
- Happy Days Are Here Again :)Last week's blog talked about how down I was feeling. I poured my heart out to a friend in an email and she assured me that my crisis of confidence was unwarranted. All this, while she is stressed to the Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Jun 5, 2011
- GlenariffeHave been thinking about the blog this week and have decided that it serves 2 purposes: First, it is a travelogue of my time here in Northern Ireland and replaces a hand-written travel diary; secondly, it is a place where Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | May 29, 2011
- Hen with MenQuite a busy week without having achieved much. The North West 200 (motor cycle race) was scheduled for Saturday, so on Tuesday evening the roads were closed so that a practice session could be had. The race itself uses the Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | May 23, 2011
- Belfast We visited to UK again on a trip to Belfast. It is only about a 2 hour bus ride from Dublin and there was no customs check. We stayed in a hostel for the first time of Posted by pmalcomson in Where in the World are Philip &Tatiana? | May 22, 2011
- Why are some boys so obsessed with their "bits"?Weather has continued cool and damp. Rather than persistent rain we might have a little bit of fine, or even sunny, weather followed by a windy rain squall. Some have said they even have thunder, lightning and hail.

- I went strolling on the beach one dayAh, a short entry with no pictures - there's your warning. Have just come back from a walk along the Strand - only took 1 hour 40 minutes :) However, it was great thinking time. Have just realised how much Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | May 7, 2011
- BelfastSaturday - once again bright and sunny. This weather is sooo unusual, the locals can talk of little else. They are now worried that this is summer and that there won't be any nice days left soon. Despite the painkillers, Aunt Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | May 2, 2011
- Why go to Sligo?Mornings are quite chilly - we need windbreakers at the least, so it is always strange to see people who voluntarily opt for a SWIM in the bay in these conditions. Go figure :). Maggie had researched places to go with Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | May 2, 2011
- Easter Holiday off to a good start.It sure has been a long term, especially for all my teacher rellies and friends in Australia. Most times it seems logical to link the holidays to Easter. At least that way, many families can have an extended break. But Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Apr 19, 2011
- The spring is sprung.I wonder where the boidies iz. They say the boid is on the wing. But that's absoid. The wing is on the boid. Apologies to ANON (apparently neither Ogden Nash nor ee cummings wrote this according to anzwers.com). Woohoo, occasionally the really nice Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Apr 10, 2011
- Time flies.Think about it. Anyway, the days are gradually getting warmer and time marches on towards the Easter break. I have made my first foray into returning hospitality. Made some Anzac biscuits and an orange cake as well as some sandwiches Posted by Jean in NI in Jean's exchange to Northern Ireland 2011 | Apr 6, 2011
- It's been a whileYes, I know it's been a while since my last entry. Life goes on and is not always worthy of long and frquent blog entries. So, what's been happening since my last entry?
