Snorkelling

Sunday 14: Finally got into the sea in Inverlough but only with an instructor and three others from our group. It had been years since I snorkelled but it came back to me fairly quickly. Enjoyed it but in about an hour only saw seven fish. The Red Sea it ain't. There they were in their hundreds and every colour you could imagine. When the rest had finished their surfing lesson, we all went for a meal together before heading back to Melbourne.
In Melbourne I had arranged to meet up with Deborah Patterson, Principal of Mill Park Heights P.S. a school of 1,100 pupils. Gerry and I had visited her school in '07and she had addressed the Meath IPPN on performance management in '08. It was great catching up and she was amazed that I was back.
As I had two principal induction days in Ballarat, the headquarters of our Diocese, I stayed there instead of going all the way back to Warrnambool. The CEO had booked me into a lovely four star motel, so it still feel like I am on holidays.
