Cos this is our zone


And as the world around us spins into one of intolerance, injustice, unemployment, conservatism and bigotry, in our microworld, we are blooming!!!


Christianna, already 7 and a half, got her growing up gift: 3 weeks on her own, with her aunt!! Aw, the girls, living the big life! :-P



Which, included SCHOOL....

 And a unique way to play Ubongo!! (Ubongo artwork by Hector and Christianna).


Oh, and grasshopper hunting was very successful...



Watching from high grounds! :-D


Habemus χελωνάκι!!! :-D

Kid.... Summer.... And we both cartooned ourselves silly... :-D

Day trip to Olympiaaaaaa!!! Let's goooo!!! (Ok, admittedly, this also included a school but hey... Ancient Olympia!! :-D)

And obviously, we spent quite a bit of our time, knackered!!!

Black Sheep, Settlers of Catan and of course, Carcassonne... Oh, and 6Nimmt... and Uno.



And Dimitris' answer to one of the questions in my Model Thinking mid-term exam: 
"Each member of a five person team has one unique idea for how to approach a problem. If ideas can be applied individually and in pairs to create approaches to the problem, how many total approaches does the team have? (Hint: think of this as recombination). Please input your answer as a whole number with no punctuation."


Yeap, we need a proper telescope...



Hehehehe, my minions to the hunt... :-D



I just LOVE spiders!! :-D



Kids hanging beach towels...



Hm.... are these pegs enough?



Maybe some more?



And Dimitris, already 9 and a half, learning to program from my courses! :-)



Well, everybody has their unique way of taking notes....



Hm... ok... the colours are a bit garish, but hey....



(Hm... copy/paste and functions in the next class... :-D)



Aw... we do need a normal telescope...



And off we go!! :-D
