Need home improvement? Call me!
Have paint and brushes, will travel. I am really surprised that, all of a sudden, I have discovered DIY, at least sort of. Not only did I paint my railings a shiny new black 2 weeks ago, today I have attacked the tiles of my floors and bathroom and re-grouted them. I did however cheat a little, I...

How you know ıf vogue ıs..
writing from her fickle and extremely slow home internet connectıon or from the ınternet cafe. Easy, when I get around to respondıng to the curtesy of your comments and read and comment myself, I am at the cafe. Another ındıctor are: emotıcons and the letter "ı" ınstead of "i". So, today ıs...

Good morning America, good night Turkey
Here is another one of the sunset pictures I took on that memorable boat trip when I nearly went flying over the railing. At least I managed to keep the horizon straight even if lost my balance. Isn´t it beautiful? I would love to see who of you gets inspired to write a poem around it.

A new icon, with multiple use!

Here they are..
First a bow to my saviors, Maureen and Derek, who so valiently grabbed me and prevented me from going over bord. And next the beautiful sunset and don´t tell me it wasn´t worth risking a very wet end of the journey. This is the return trip and we were approaching port.

Continued..
Sorry about the typos, but Turkcell doesn´t like me to stay too long on one single piece of writing. When I start revising, it just cuts off and the entire entry is lost. So, please forgive me and overlook them.

A few more remarks on heat
I loved nautikos´s rcommnt, saying that he considers 30 C tepid. So do I, so do I. I jsut about start breaking a sweat (I mean perspiration, ha,ha) when the temperature approaches 50 C. Of course everybody else here thinks I´m from another planet which suits me just fine. On the other hand, they...

Hot, hot,hot in Turkey
The climate is definitely changing. It´s only the end of June, it´s 6 o´clock in the morning and the temperature is already 92° and counting. There will not be a drop of rain until the end of October at the earliest and water will occasionally be cut off. Seasoned Turkey dwellers know to always have...

Have I got news for you!
A few months ago, I approached one of the few publishers who actually publish short story collections by new authors and sent them 3 sample stories. Then I forgot all about it. Yesterday I received an email from them asking me to send the hard copy of all of my stories and telling me that they...

Keeping fit in the rosy morning light
Have a look at our marvellous, nearl olympic sized pool which form the centre piec of our complex. Nothing better than doing the first 20 lengths of the day in the rosy morning light. Of course, as I took the pic you can´t see me doing them!! Having said that, there are witnesses to my efforts!...
