And it rained and rained and rained… I wanted some new pictures of the lake, but I was worried about being washed away, as it now looks like a small sea. I’ll have to get some pictures tomorrow.
Some more pictures here from the B.B.C. , summer anyone?
If you have any good pictures let me know.
Welcome to Mr Herman from the United States, who is exchanging with Miss Thornhill from September to October, looking forward to her U.S. blog.
One for Year.8
Thanks to Miss Toolin, who gave me this link to Frances Conway, speaking about St.Ann’s before the redevelopment. Whereas in Geography we discuss the reasons for the changes and the impacts, English study the accent.
A nice living resource.
Better wrap up well for the journey to College on Monday and for the rest of the day.
Monday:
Prolonged and heavy rain with continuing a risk of localised flooding. Perhaps drier and brighter for a time over southern parts. Cool in the rain with a chilly northerly wind.

Watched Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond, the film is set during Sierra Leone’s civil war in 1999. The title refers to diamonds that are mined in war zones and then sold to fund conflicts; though the diamond trade is now strictly regulated, it is estimated that 1% of diamonds mined come from conflict zones. Once processed and fashioned into jewellery, the consumer has no knowledge of the diamond’s original location. The film reminded me of Noel Jenkins’ work on the subject, a great example of a product web and interdependence.
We also have historical links with Sierra Leone, it being an ex-colony, British forces are currently present in the country advising the government on the development of its armed forces.
The film has an adult rating, due to its disturbing scenes of civil conflict, so it’s one for parental permission, trailer below.
