Wednesday 18th September
Fairly typical day at work, picked up a little shopping and the hugest onion on the way home.
Wednesday’s are usually DnD night but several missing through illness and being abroad so we mostly had drinks and sat around talking. Seem to be a lot of people getting sick at the moment and getting to hospital around here, especially one that has English speaking staff, is a pain in the ass. Hope I never get properly sick.

Given a small lamp in work, powered by a USB power bank. Until I get something more substantial it is ideal for my bedroom where I only have the very stark bright ceiling light.
Bought this curious pig shaped drink, maybe milk inside?
Friday 20th September
Always a busy day, four lessons to teach and a short lunch break. Dashed out for some food but ate it in my only free period. Two classes did practical experiments and the A-level did a test, made for an easier day. Evening was a staff party at a local hotel, food and drink aplenty. Though everyone decided to go out to karaoke again, huge turnout including the principle and others who rarely come out. The karaoke rooms are designed for groups of 15, we had 25 squeeze in. As one person said, ‘This isn’t karaoke, it’s a disco!’
Saturday 21st September
Woke up fairly early, so went to Walmart first thing. They were testing air raid sirens on the way over, which judging from my group WeChat messages woke everyone else up who was enjoying a lie in. Just bought regular things in Walmart but then stopped in Miniso downstairs which sells various nicknaks and decorations. I had a good notebook and some pens for school work, and a huge stuffed Pikachu! Lots of mysterious reductions, the whole lot came to barely £6 by UK prices. Will surely go back for more pens.
Invited over friend’s place for hot pot. Very popular here, but my first time. Not what I imagined, there’s a bowl of boiling water in the middle of the table and you put vegetables, shredded meats and meatballs into it to cook. Then scoop them out and mix with other things on your plate. Delicious. Then we played the Lord of the Rings board game until evening, just two player, I think most other people were resting from the evening before!
