Hello everyone in Dundee!

I just want to tell you that Whisky has been very busy and that I have several students working on their texts. You know, it is hard and it takes time for the students to write in English since it is quite new to them.
Now, I want to tell you about a small incident the other day involving Whisky:
One of the girls in the other class 4 had had a terrible accident. She had fallen and hit her head in one of the stairs cases and she was bleeding a lot. Her father came to school and we were waitng for the ambulance to arrive. We were all (two teachers, one bleeding Ella and a father) jammed in to a small bathroom right inside the door to the teachers´lounge. I had taken care of Whisky during the break because Sarah, who was bringing Whisky on the holiday, was playing outside. Suddenly the door flung open and Sarah shouted in to the lounge: DO YOU HAVE WHISKY HERE? I shouted back: ON THE BENCH! You can imagine the look on dad´s face!! We all had a good laugh after a small explanation.
Hope everything is fine with you all! Mrs Ulvelid.

Alasdair's sporting week with Halge



On Saturday 26th January I got up at 5.30 am, put Helga in my bag and set off for the Scottish Schools Swimming Championship in Glasgow. I had a good day and you can see Helga in the photo beside the 10 lane, 50 metre pool at Tollcross, which will be used for the Commonwealth Games when they come to Glasgow. When we left the pool it was dark and it took us more than an hour to find our hotel in East Kilbride because we got lost. We had to stop and ask directions in a pub which went silent when we walked in…scary.

There is another photo of Helga in the hotel room. We had just enough time to go for a swim and sauna before we had our dinner.

The next day I took Helga to the west of Scotland table tennis championships where I was competing. Although I was very tired from the day before I played quite well and had a couple of good games before playing the 14 year old Irish champion. Helga enjoyed this game as it was quite close, although I lost narrowly in the end. It was great to watch so many good players and I think Helga enjoyed it too!

Whiskys week with Johanna and Sofia






On Monday I went home to Sofia. I didn´t do so much but i was bored so I fell a sleep in 2 sec . When I Was awake I was in Sofia´s school bag and I was in the school again, sad:'(
On Tuesday I went home to Johanna and played videogame. We played Guitar hero. I really liked to play and want to do it again! I liked Slow Ride the best.
Johannas favorite food is lasagna and I also enjoy it.
On Wednesday we whent to something they called "Ruddalen". It is ice! I did not skate because I did´nt want to have snow in my fur but it was fun to come home and rest after.
January has been extremely stormy and rainy in Sweden. On Thursday when we went home to Johanna we had to lean against the wind to come home. It is also very warm for the season. We found flowers that should not bloom until May. I was bored again so I fell a sleep when I came home.


On Friday Sofia went home to Johanna and played on the computer and danced but I was in my dreams and I was king of the world!!! When I woke up I was sad that the dream was not true :'(
