What's happening in your world?

Your School of the Air sounds like it would combine some of the best features of Home and, er, regular Schooling. The individual attention and pacing of home schooling, combined with the the structure and educational outcomes of traditional school.

A very accurate assessment !

I have to say, I think they might have been pulling your leg about the frozen meat barbecue.

Hardly surprising when we tell 'foreigners' that windmills are giant fans for cooling down the cattle and drinking troughs for stock are, in fact, outdoor bathtubs !

I spent most of the evening outside with my Cadets without a jacket on. Of course, I'm pretty cold tolerant but we were all outside in our shirt sleeves.

Am not sure what Cadets could mean in this context? Please explain (sorry, Nuytsia, I couldn't help slipping a Pauline in there !).

I have also seen the term shirt sleeves used here before (ah, yep, it was Manephelien who earlier said that it was "shirtsleeve weather" earlier in this thread). I am assuming that, by this, you both mean you wear a t-shirt with short sleeves? In Australia we would just say we were wearing a short-sleeved shirt or a long-sleeved shirt.
