Photos - Upper School
I've included pictures of the Upper School which during the 2nd World War was used as a hospital. Chatting to my grandad a few days ago we realised that he was admitted here for some treatment.

Back in Sunny Sri Lanka
Sorry about the gap in blogging - we are staying temporary in the Warden's bungalow at St Thomas' College whilst our house is fumigated due to a white ant invasion. So we are still packed up in cardboard boxes awaiting our move... The living room here is bigger then my whole entire annexe in Mirihana so we are enjoying the luxury of space! At the moment the school has no Warden, so the sub-warden Mr Harshana Perea is the Acting Warden - please pray for him as he takes on extra duties and responsibilities.
Sadly our storage room got broken into whilst we were away and our oven got taken. Shemil was overjoyed however that no theology books went missing - thank goodness.
The timetable at St Thomas' means early rising for Becky - being in chapel by 6.45am and leading morning prayer for over 400 boys at 7.30am. However as school finishes at 1.30pm and staff leave at around 3.30pm there is plenty of the day left for catching up with friends and parishoner from Mirihana and enjoying walks on the nearby beach.
Will post some uptodate pics in the next few days - watch this space!
