It is really hard to believe this but Dave and I have now been living
in Tunisia, North Africa for a month. We arrived on the 7 Aug and actually
haven’t looked back since that day. If you are not too sure where we are,
Tunisia is on the north African coast wedged between Algeria and Libya.
What I am amazed about is how quickly we have assimilated into this
lifestyle. When we arrived it was extremely hot, almost furnace-like, however
this week it has definitely cooled which is more to my liking.
Our welcome here by the school personnel was quite remarkable; we were
met at the airport, taken shopping and handed some start up currency. It really
did seem that nothing was too much trouble. They were and are all great.
Our new house is lovely with plenty of space. It will be great when our
own furniture arrives but this might not happen until Nov/Dec.
One of the other new teachers, a young girl called Tiffin lives across
the road and guess what she likes to run…
we have been running together at 5.15 a..m
This big change feels good at the moment. It will be interesting to see
whether this feeling lasts. I have lots to do at the school, so will need to
get my best change management hat on….. not rushing at the moment, just working
on those relationships.
