“No more words. ..... But you have made my world more perfect.” 
― Sir Terry Pratchett 'Nation' 

No class to teach, a quiet day at home spent writing (a school policy document related to my MA thesis) and feeling just fine, until early evening when reality came to play - for having sat awhile in my lounge, they asked if I would like to go to the Zorlu centre on Saturday one last time (forcefully reminded that they leave Istanbul next week to live in Germany), and now I can't find any words at all as the reality of being an Englishwoman living abroad strikes its annual blow.
