Trying to get the motivation to pack up all my stuff. No not because I am heading home, but because the Ashu is so full that there is no space for me tomorrow. Luckily I was planning to be away as I am going to Issyk kul, but I know it takes me a couple of hours to empty my room and I really could do with out it right now. Next weekend is another bank holiday so I hope that they will have room for me as no more money after this for trips away. It is not quite the tourist season in Issyk kul, but when I went to Karakol I travelled the length of the legendary lake and even in a huge snow storm it looked so brilliant I knew I had to come and pay a proper visit. So going to be a tourist tomorrow.
The Ashu has been so full that I have either had to have my dinner in the kitchen or on the terrace so apart from saying hello each day to some of the seminar attendees that I recognise did not get to talk with them before they headed home after five days today. So it was a nice surprise when one of the attendees who I spoke to a lot when the same group was here in Autumn came and joined me for dinner. He will be here all weekend, but obviously I will not be, he lives in Switzerland and comes over twice a year for these budgetary, meetings so it was nice to have another talk with him. Whatever I decide or whatever I am able to do next year, I have been extraordinarily luckily this year.
Got kisses of some of the year 0 children today and the year one children yesterday, not something I am very comfortable with but shows how fickle the fickle finger of fate is. So it was a nice day today school wise. The Year 1 children read through half the Last of the Mohicans very well. And my Kygyz colleague and I have agreed to try and learn a song together for our fundraising concert in May.
