Schools...

Things have been a bit hectic. The workload is starting to build up, I'm getting into the swing of finding a place to live and the hunt for "The'' Right School is now officially on. There is a new Corona School opening in Lekki this September. Those of you in the know will know that Corona is a school with history where a lot of illustrious movers and shakers started their young lives. From what I heard, as soon as the registration forms were released, mothers of Lekki were sending their drivers in their 4x4's to go and queue from 4am at the Ikoyi head office to collect a form for their darling young ones.

That scrum must have died down as when we showed up this morning at 7.45am it was nice and quiet and I was able to pick up a couple of forms for my own darling young ones. There was a single posh speaking mum who quickly pointed out that as her kids were in another branch of Corona, she should be given special dispensation in getting into the new Corona. Not to be out-done, I started asking questions about what they could do for darling young ones still enschoned in the UK but soon to return all fresh faced with Britiko accents. That mellowed her and her posh tones out a bit and she started to smile as in ''ok, he is one of us''.

Also went to Meadow Hall which could do with some trees as I don't want the Nigerian sun blasting the heads of my young ones fresh out of the UK where they put sun block on their pretty faces against the weak England sun. Nigerian sun is like a Tsunami compared to a swimming pool wave of the English sun. We tried to get to Green Springs but turned back when we had been driving for 30 minutes with no school in site. I was told that it was a nice school so we'll go back this lunchtime. Will also go to see Imperial Gate and Pine Fields in Lekki today. I want to pack all this in before work builds up as I'm told 5am finishes are not unheard of. I'll post some pictures a bit later in the day...
