In a Giant's footstep

One of the great things that the kids like about the schooling here is the food technology. They really enjoy it and even our 11 years boy is proud of what he can cook. They are also quite keen to hone their skill (i.e. make a mess) at home. But for the parents it is a real headache to get all those ingredients from the supermarket to prepare for the cooking at school. The other thing that they do a lot here is sports. Our youngest now enjoys rugby.

On completely different subject, on Tuesday Obama is becoming a president. And, as if coincidentally, Uncle Sam's naughty boy called a unilateral truce to go home after wrecking Gaza. Otherwise it does not look good for Uncle Sam at a time when it is honouring a new president. Whatever it is it will still be a giant footstep for America when President Barrack is finally inaugurated on Tuesday.
