Grace in Small Things #27

Much thankfulness for the following:
  • Top Gear marathon on BBC Canada! Only one episode I hadn't watched before had me in tears (strange, I know). It featured a group of injured soldiers who were training for the Dakar rally. Not only that but the show arranged for former Stig, Ben Collins, to train the team.*
  • My mom won Lagostina pots though Touchdown to Win and gave them to me! This was the first weekend where I really got the chance to use them.
  • I'm so thankful that I can live with my parents while I become better known as a substitute teacher in the school division.
  • Not only is the current book I'm reading extremely interesting, I'm getting a lot of great ideas of how I could use it in my teaching.
  • Egg, tomato and Havarti sandwich for supper.

*Sister, it is a must view for when you're here at Christmas time.

Bill Bryson is great. I read his Short History of Private Life and it was superb. There were some things he really oversimplified and even got quasi-wrong at times, but he was delightful the whole time nonetheless.

Bill Bryson book I'm reading is hailed as being well researched and accessible. It was recommended to me by a prof as a book that could be used in a science classroom.
