I woke up this morning with that feeling of resignation and lethargy you get when it's the end of the working week and the weekend is so intangibly close. Then I realised it was Saturday and bounded out of bed looking forward to my swim at the pool and a day of reading and drawing.
Everything was going so well. Can I share a tip with other potential sunners- if you sun yourself, wear suncream but moreover- don't use the spray stuff. I used some l'oreal spray cream thing today (because I'm worth it, ho ho) and unfortunately it soaked in so quickly I couldn't keep track of where I'd sprayed and where I hadn't. With the result that I look like a leopard now. At least I know it works, right??
Oh well, all in all a good day. I'm reading "snow" by Orhan Pamuk at the moment.. it's making me think a great deal about what motivates people to believe certain things and find it interesting to get an insight into how differently minds work in other cultures...
Tomorrow is sunday.. I think I'll walk into town and try to cross to the turkish side on foot. There's a new crossing at ledra street. Well, an old crossing but it's been reopened this year. Maybe I'll go and visit the inn on the other side, it's full of craft shops, fun times. Maybe I'll practise my Turkish and buy some baklava (mmmmmmm) looking appealling already!!
