's it, the Smurfs have left for their new school, duly dressed in their new uniforms and in a state of stress quite impressive: it is never easy start, much less mid-year. Especially since it is a British international school version ... A new system.
You tell me we're here Sunday but the week starts on Sunday, the weekend is for religious reasons, on Friday and Saturday. Result, yesterday I thought it was all day Sunday and today we will have that I can put myself in the head that no it is not Monday! Notice could have been worse, as in Saudi Arabia where the weekend is Thursday and Friday!
About uniforms, we really thought that C. would start in jeans: indeed one of her skirts, ordered on the Internet arrived and was not the right size (though we had taken measures but it is the fault of the thumbs ;-)) and Wednesday afternoon we went to the cleaners for the compound to edit. She promised me for Saturday afternoon but, of course, was not ready. So I heavily stressed, indicating that it was her school uniform and it was imperative for me this morning at dawn. Followed was very lively discussion between employees of laundry, discussion of course I have not included since it was held in an unknown tongue (I do not know whether they are Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi) but it was pretty funny because they kept saying "school". Anyway this morning we had the good surprise to find a bag hung on the door that contained the precious skirt, perfectly retouched! Like what, do not despair!
