Two for the price of one

The past couple of days at PR have been pretty good.  I worked the Internet room both mornings.  The clients have to come in and sign up for 45 minute sessions.  They can come in and check facebook, email, watch you tube, look for job listings, etc.  We do monitor for any naughty behaviour, but, thankfully, I have not encountered any.

Ella and I have eaten lunch at small Greek sandwich shop the past two days.  It is delicious.  I got a tuna melt pressed baguette yesterday and some lasagne today.  Quite delicious both days!

PR was super short on staff yesterday, so Ella and I ran the CSCS training.  Basically, we put a program on the computer and monitor the progress of the clients.  They read the information on the screen, have the option to listen to different words in their own language, and then have to take a quiz at the end.  We did not have anyone for this training, but ended up helping a couple of clients with job searches and CVs (resumes).

This afternoon, I have spent my time planning for to teach the English class for next Tuesday.  The previous English teacher’s last day was Thursday and the replacement cannot start for a couple of weeks.  SO – is has be left to Miss B!  The way I figure it, the 10 men that I will need to instruct should not be too different than my 5^th graders, right?   Right?  J  Another volunteer will be helping me, so that’s good. 

I was so thankful to get a call from Rebecca yesterday.  Seven of us got together for a free dance/play/thing that was held near the Tower Bridge.  The writer was inspired to create this dance/play/thing because his 14 year old nephew was killed by gang activity a few years ago.  It was pretty good, a little strange in places, but overall had a good message.  The rain held off and it turned out to be a nice evening out – a little cold, maybe, but nice.

Molly, Ella, Rebecca, Roni and I ended up going to local pub for a bite to eat.  Curry was the special for the night, so that’s what we ended up getting.  We also opted for desert – Rebecca and I needed some ‘comfort food’.  J  We’re both missing our Southern roots.

I am off for now.  I think Ella, Rebecca and I are going to wander around brick lane and look at some shops.  I also think Molly and I are going to try to get lottery tickets for Much Ado About Nothing tomorrow morning.  I MUST MEET/SEE DAVID TENNANT!!!!
