Never got on with barbeques either, even in Oz.

I did go to a gathering at a farm a few miles out of Canberra.  A pit was dug and a tree thrown in and set on fire.  The food was roasted on a huge grill over that.  That was pretty good...but then the longnecks and 'local buds' probably clouded my judgement.

We headed back to the city about 4am.  Getting off the farm involved a 3 mile journey down a dirt track.

Sat on the bonnet of a severely overloaded Holden Ute, bent out of shape, and directing the driver to avoid the wheels dropping into the ruts and beaching the car was quite an intense experience...

Good times... 8->

So, Ofsted are now deliberating and meeting the Head of School and Executive Head.

My meeting was fine, all good this end. :)

I can now go back to my real job which is actually doing stuff rather than talking about doing stuff to people who don't do any stuff =)
