Times Online: Top 20 Religious T-Shirts

Now here's a bit of fun - the top 20 religious T-Shirts on one of the blogs on the Times online religion and faith website. You can check them out here. Incidentally the Times online Faith and Religion page is a really good site for keeping up to date on all sorts of international religious matters: the main page is here.

While I'm at it you can also keep up with the Times Literary Supplement here.
The Times Education Supplement site is here. It is just one of MANY fantastic English teacher's websites with lots of brilliant resources that can be altered for an Australian context. Also really good if you want to look at teaching in the UK - a worthwhile experience to have!

Now better get back to my Greek homework.... if procrastination was a uni subject I'd get a High Distinction! :-)
Talk later,

More China Pix



Here are a few more photos of China - this time of the Li River - scene of the famous "camera overboard" incident. These photos taken afterwards, on the school camera! You can really see where the misty black and white chinese watercolour landscapes come from.

This one is of the caves in Guilin - truly spectacular.

It must be essay writing time again.....

I'm supposed to be writing an essay about women and their head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11.... so what's the perfect procrastination device? Internet quizzes!
So much more satisfying that what I used to do to avoid essay writing - less ironing gets done but who cares???
Talk to you soon

Which Jane Austin heroine are you??

Fanny Price


You are smart and shy, a quiet beauty with brains that intimidate everyone around you. You often feel out of place, homeless and alone. As an intellectual idealist, you long to be heard and understood, but rarely waste your time trying to defend yourself to those who could not possibly understand. Time and experience is making you bolder. Despite your clever genius, you long for simplicity, and the love of your soul mate, who is a socially surprising and unlikely match.
