An observation and note on typing

We had our first guests over for dinner on Saturday. Cindy is American and her partner, Yaghoub (Jacob) is Iranian. We made them our trusted Malay sweet chicken and pear curry and it went down famously.

Today was a very clear day. Spring is in the air. Lots of almond blossoms. I looked out my office window and noticed the strange clouds on the horizon. Tulin, my colleague and HOD, with whom I share the office, pointed out that it was mainland Turkey. Wow! I never expected Turkey to be visible from here. The mountains are huge and capped with snow. Suddenly it felt less like an island. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. We’ll see…

You may have noticed a lot of typing errors. My keyboard is very sensitive, so itoften registers two letters per keystroke. I try to clean it up, but sometimes I am in a hurry. Be patient please. G
