Winter winds
This year’s winter wind is far stronger than I anticipated. It reminded me of arriving early at school as a result of the bad bus service and not being allowed to stand inside the school blocks. They’d make us wait outside in freezing temperatures, some of us not at all clothed for the winter conditions, shivering with our little boy hands in our weary pockets. This time I was well prepared (scarf, hat, gloves, coat), and also armed with a camera. Back at my original homeland we (R and I) are attempting to resolve certain issues without the ever-present company that follows us around at my uni home.
Work is entirely evil as I recently discovered that rumours have been circulating about me since I left last August. Still, I’m only there until mid January, so I am attempting to ignore all gossip and just earn enough to make the money I need. This year it looks like I’ll be spending both new year’s eve, and day, at work. Whoopy!
My front tooth has fallen off. I broke it two years ago when I drunkenly dived into a swimming pool, then as I was eating mash potato the other day, it decided to break off. Luckily, the bit that has broken off fits back into place. By night I am broken-toothed, but by day, I am denture boy! I just pray it doesn’t drop off one day at work and reveal my true escaped convict look.
