Incommunicado

At the moment I write this item (May 21st), our phone service is down since 5 days. This means, no access to the internet neither.

About a month ago, digging works started to have a new water supply towards the village. They dug a bit carelessly.

But life goes on. It is possible to live without a phone and internet, except that at moments it is inconvenient.

After it being too cold for the time of the year until the beginning of May, the heat got us by surprise. In one week temperatures went from about 20 to 40 °C. Way too hot.

It took me a few days to clean the carpets and put them away. Woollen carpets don’t suit this kind of weather.

Luckily, it got a bit less hot and a fresh wind is blowing. The mountain tops in Turkey are still covered with snow.

Zakaria got his Belgian passport. Time to go and buy a plane ticket to travel to Belgium. I plan to be there when Summer is starting to get at its worst over here.

When the heat started, Zakaria suddenly started doing a lot of new things like sticking his finger into my mouth and kind of moving around on his tummy. He can stand upright by himself when he is in his bath and some teeth are starting to come through. Teething is a long process for this boy.

He continues to charm the ladies and loves to be cuddled and kissed by them. It doesn’t matter what language is spoken to him. He loves the attention.

Note on May 25th : Zakaria did not need phone services to have is first tooth showing.
