donderdag 23 april 2009 Up with alarm. Watch French News. Besson espère la fin de la "jungle" avant fin 2009 Calais is a mess!

There are estimated to be about 1,000 migrants in makeshift camps in Calais, most hoping to enter Britain illegally. Immigration Minister Eric Besson said the camp, known as "the jungle", would be replaced by a temporary center offering migrants food and shelter. Switch to Democracy Now. Amy is in Bozeman, MT. She interviews people trying to protect the wilderness. Toast and h-b egg with a little beet salad for breakfast. Bath. Walk up to Victrola for coffee. Steph is out today because her dog - Puff - died. Drop off mug at home. Walk up Westlake to work. Breaks for Elaine and Margot then over to the kitchen to wash dishes. I'm done in 20 minutes, and Kim doesn't need me for snack prep. Join the Sea Otters. Take them out to the playground. I throw the balls under the fence over the fence. The kids love it. Over to Wildflowers to cover for Patty's meeting and her lunch. Only 6 Wildflowers. Darnell is there with me. I'm so used to that classroom to be crazy-busy, but it is really mellow. 1 - down to Starfish for nap time. Gwen falls asleep for me easily... for a change. Streetcar to d'town. Rice and chili for lunch. Walk over to M Street to get dinner (from the salad bar) for later. Listen to The World. They focus on Africa -- from South Africa and Kenya to Zimbabwe and Zambia. Specifically, South Africa has their parliamentary elections. The big winner appears to be the ruling African national Congress. Look at the pretty ballot.

Back up to Hutch Kids for another transition meeting. I hang out with the smartest people - Gloria, Andy, Margot and Charmaine. We get it done fast. Streetcar back to my place. Play some Fireball XL5 - The Granatoid Tanks.
