Here goes . . . after an age, I'm blogging. It is a beautiful day outside--sunshine all over the Netherlands, a rare thing indeed! Best of all is the bird song outside our balcony. We live next to a canal and the weeping willow is packed full of local birds like the Ekster, the Spreeuw, and the grote bonte Speecht. Beautiful! We set up a feeder as well. Never thought I would actually use those binoculars!
This is the last day of Spring Break at the College where I teach. Sammy (my significant other) is recovering from surgery; I am recovering from an intense term of Oral Communications and Psychology of Religion. I have both English and Dutch students this term which runs until 5 June. They are a joy. Really! I'll post some snaps of my students later. The English division students are from Africa and the West Indies mostly, with lovely accented English. I am not teaching in Dutch, not yet! My Dutch students have excellent English language skills. I do, however, read their essay and papers in Dutch and provide them with a Dutch exam. A lot of work!
