Aaron Koleszar Visit, Gothic VS. Gay Party, Crystal Crescent Beach With Eleanor, Eabha's Candle Lit Bath

So our good friend and commrade Aaron Koleszar came out for a visit this weekend. It was great, as usual to have his company, and his influx of radical propaganda (DVD's, posters, patches, news letters...).

On Friday night, Aaron, Eabha and I went to the Gothic Vs. Gay party that our friend Capp was hosting and had invited us too. It was a lot of fun but Eabha was tired to begin with and we left as the major influx of freaks was commencing. That night Eabha took 3 minutes to fall asleep, a new record.

Saturday found us at the market with Keli, which was a lot of fun. I got Eabha some egyptian cammomile tea, and citrus lavendar tea...both potions intended to knock her out like an elephant tranquilizer at bedtime. It totally works! Ha!

Afterwards we drove out to Crystal Crescent Beach with our friend Eleanor. We almost got a bit lost on our two and a half hour hike, but with our bread crumbs...found our way back. The day in the cold wind ended for Eabha, with a warm candle lit bath.

Sunday afternoon finds us here on the couch, eating strawberries and drinking more tea, updating the blog and whatnot. We're looking forward to our swimming lesson in two hours, and yes Gamma, the new bathingsuit fits Eabha perfectly!!

The Literacy Support Programme has been going really well at school/work. This workshop's sample was an article on race, which left a lot of room for politicising the personal. The next workshop's sample will be using the medium of video to re-approach reading strategies. Here is the video sample we'll most likely be using:

Be Well,

There's a rumour this was a xmass ornament from the xmass tree at city hall. Pitty. Looks lovely on the ceiling

Eabha had Goth face paint, but also had a fairy on her shirt, which is decidedly Queer.
