Mom and Dad

This Sunday my parents arrived in Oxford for a visit! On Sunday we picked them up at the airport and went straight into London to watch the Oxford versus Cambridge boat race. It was pretty crowded so we ended up watching the race from a television screen but we were quite happy that Oxford won !!! We then walked around London for a bit.

On Monday Adam took my parents on a little tour of Oxford and ended up at a literary festival where we saw some artwork by Nelson Mandela.

Today they went to the Science Museum, History Museum and the Bodleian library.

Tomorrow they are off to London....

DONE !!

Today Adam finished his last exam... YEAH !!! He still has one more report to hand in Monday but the bulk of the work is finally finished.

He is out for the end of term dinner now and I hope that he is relaxing and enjoying his new freedom. 

It is that time of year again for the Susan G Komen Race for the cure. This is the walk for breast cancer that the Spinelli ladies participate in. Please think about supporting their team -  Lulu's Ladies.

Good Luck Adam

Well it has been another slow week in Oxford. Adam has spent the whole  week studying for his upcoming tests. Once again I feel bad for him but he seems to be taking it pretty well. His exams start Monday and finish this Thursday. So... wish him luck. 

Tonight Adam ( with the help of our friend Nancy) had some friends met us for an early birthday dinner.  It was a surprise so I didn't have my camera for photos : (

Rugby Match

Today the SBS rugby team played their first game. They played pretty well and there were no major injuries!! I didn't quite understand what was going on most of the time but I still enjoyed the game.





Poker Night

On Friday the 13th we had a girls night. I tried to learn how to play poker yet again.
I will just say it is a good thing we weren't betting with real money ; )

Red Nose Day

Today was Red Nose Day ! Our school celebrated by encouraging the students pay a small fee to wear wacky clothes or wacky hair. All of the money goes to the Comic Relief Charity fund. I have to say it really was a crazy day but the students had a lot of fun and really got into the spirit of things : )
