This is all I have time to do now work has begun.

This is the corner where I have my classroom 'office'.  I end up here for hours after school, marking and planning.  Yes, it's still hot enough for a fan.

On tour in Jordan

The Dead Sea was a highlight, I think - or Petra.  It's the weirdest sensation trying to get under the water.. you just can't!  The mud is full of minerals and is kinda oily but your skin feels great fr days.

Petra is one of the seven wonders of the world.  It is surely an amazing achievement.  The Nabateans created these buildings hewn out of the rock.  Later the Bedouins lived here.  Now the tourists have taken over - Jordan uses it to pay the national debt @ $nz66 per head.
