2014, day after day

[Anthea]

The publisher I met 1 montage seems determined to publish the translation of Mehmud Beyazîdî in March 2015, for the Newroz, happy coincidence.

Let me think

Do we know the poor overworked person who has translated Mehmud Beyazîdî

[Piling]

why each time I begin to play to mah-jong because the library is QUIET someone enters instantly who needs MY help ?

Still 2000 books to move, I think.

You must be losing a great deal of work what with your diet and all the books you are sorting out

I expect the company you work for will give you extra money for all the hard work you are ding

Generally, when you work for Culture, you earn nothing. But when you work for Kurdish culture, it is less than nothing

You must work for LOVE

Today, winter is coming. Frozen nights, between 1 and -1, and an icy drizzle.

Because the end of 2014 is soon, I watched all the I Ching hexagrams I got last year for each months of the year. It is funny to observe how predictions turned and what they meant, at the end.

You need a good man to keep you warm

Though a bad man is much more fun

Carrying and moving heavy books are a good way to feel warm also.

Paris is frozen under drizzle.

Waiting for news, waiting for news, CRAVING for news.

[Anthea]

Waiting for news, waiting for news, CRAVING for news.

From whom?

From a certain gentleman perhaps

Not the news from Iraq or Syria because it is always the same recently

America dropped more bombs

Innocent people were killed

Assad dropped more bombs

Innocent people were killed

Shamefully - nobody seems to care how many innocent people are slaughtered

Kurds had more Martyrs

Islamic State had more Martyrs

Refugees from the fighting are starting to suffer from the cold

The Middle Eastern News never seems to change

Coffee, books, laptop, bed, cat : the ideal Sunday.

Seems like a good way to spend the day

Temp went down to minus 6 last night and it still has not thawed out

Everything outside is still covered in frost

[Piling]

Here a thick mist, what we call 'purée de pois'.

Local aerodrome says it was minus 10 last night

No mist and luckily no wind wind

Does make me think how lucky we are

If we were Yazidis without proper shelter we could have died last night

Someone somewhere must be doing something to help them but I cannot find anyone
