@Jules, me too, sort of, though it’s much easier to dry like this!

@Liesbeth, espero que la vuelta a casa no ha sido demasiado duro!

Are all the pelo-phrases appropriate for a 71-year old Spanish student? I don’t want to use phrases more appropriate for a 15-year old.

Talking about cool ‘pelo’ phrases, how about this one: “ponerse los pelos de punta”?

Saludos,

I think I should have written “poner a alguien los pelos de punta” (to make one’s hair stand on end).
