I'm just getting back to the blogosphere after a decent break. A world renowned educator in Melbourne and a pity so many of the particpants wanted to learn about how to begin blogging and not more were present to learn from you and other bloggers with real experiences in and out of the classroom. I hope you enjoyed your time here. Until next time, Joseph Sorry I didn’t see this earlier. I’m just getting back to the blogosphere after a decent break.

John, I did see Bobby Davis on TV last night saying that he didn't want to die as the only Geelong premiership coach! Maybe this is your year! Jo and James, looking forward to catching you both at "the event." Jane - the Dockers!!! Better than the Eagles I suppose (or the Crows or Collingwood, urrrgggh!! Warrick, isn't the problem with seasons in Melbourne is that you usually get them all in the one day? Should be a good trip - it's as big as it gets for me. I feel really prepared now.

This time I hope we do get to catch up; I'll see if I can get to your session. On visiting Melbourne some tips to get along are: we approve of Fed Square we like the gallery (the guggenheim exhibition will be still on - www.ngv.vic.gov.au/guggenheim ) we take our coffee way too seriously we don't like the way our footy has been hijacked by interstate teams who have all been gifted premierships as some sort of secret afl sweetheart deal (we see conspiracies everywhere) we like the idea of seasons we welcome back the rain we like 3L0 but aren't sure about Red Symonds we think that sydney is flashy and american and pretty but really you'd only want to live there if you could live right on the harbor wouldn't you!

I know exactly what you mean though. Try being an Australian in New Zealand. I get up to speak at conferences and the first thing they notice is that I don't speak right, then they are reminded by my accent that Australia wins everything, almost all the time... rugby, cricket, netball ... I'm on the back foot before I get going :). As long as we're talking footy, and I never get to over here... Go Dockers! He he he Graham, very funny. I know exactly what you mean though.

Actually you can say what you like about footy as far as I'm concerned. That is so funny, Graham. Actually you can say what you like about footy as far as I’m concerned.

As to the residents of Melbourne and what needs to be done to adjust your lifestyle to fit in this side of the Murray well I perhaps best leave that for the others. Suffice to say James is a thoroughly approachable and generous chap albeit a Pom by birth, (I'm told you crow eaters have slightly more affinity with the Old Dart than we other colonials :) ). Unfortunately much to my chagrin, I am unable to join you all for the VITTA activity. Though I was asked to come along, I am that evening flying off to the Gold Coast for the iwbnet interactive whiteboard conference, rats....... Ah well the weather should be warmer. That being the case we shall have to catch up for that beer, (actually I'm not a VB person at all). Cheers John Yo Graham,
