Speed-O-Post part II

Year End
So, the normal teaching year is over and the intensives begin tomorrow. That means two more weeks and I finish here in Argentina.

Journey Home
My journey home is more or less planned. I'll be in South America until the beginning of March then I fly to Australia for up to six weeks (taking us to the middle of April). From there I'll fly to Europe but quite where in Europe will probably depend on flight availability, price and how I feel.

Telephone Call
Changing the subject completely, I had a telephone call yesterday from a telemarketer asking if I was interested in buying a plot in a cemetery! I've heard of cold calling but that is downright weird.

Dentist
Went to the dentist yesterday and had the brace on my top teeth tightened. It is a little painful at the moment and some of my teeth are numb. Now I know that sounds odd but I didn't realise just how much sensation I was receiving from my teeth until it stopped happening. It's like when your leg goes numb and when you touch it you only get the signal from your hand - just like touching someone else in fact.

Packing
I've started sorting my stuff into three groups. The first is to go home immediately, the second is to travel with me and the third is to be left here/given away. This kind of clearing out is very tiring but very therapeutic.

Ok, that's it.
