Daily notebook from Duhok 2016

[Piling]

I will tell tomorrow how the city is white. All the roads around are cut. This night : -10ºc.

I remember that on December 26th, I was in my garden, in t-shirt and tongs, under a warm sun… Kurdistan has no transition

Weather forecast says it could be -15 by 7am

MINUS 15

I have decided not to move to Kurdistan

She needs a litter tray indoors so she does not get her feet wet

Try the challenge of goodreads. As I have no clue about the amount of books I reads in a year, I say 100 :

Another Neville Longbottom in exam, this morning. A young 7 who learnt all his biology and realized that it was Physics-Chem today.

Update my reading challenge : 100 seems ridiculous, as I have already read 6 books on January 8th.

300 is more reasonable, I think :

ERR I though kerosene heaters are VERY DANGEROUS and produce high levels of carbon monoxide

See article on Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning

Do you have a carbon monoxide tester?

Available from Amazon.com

Neither you nor I use microsoft

I wonder if there is something in microsoft that prevents users being able to log onto this site?

I would try logging on using microsoft myself but it is against my religion

Do you have a carbon monoxide tester?

I had one in France, not here. I will bring one the next year and also a fire alarm.

In Kurdistan, mpst people seem to know only Microsoft. Being an apple fan is being an alien.

Is it safe to wait until next year

If they are not on sale in Duhok perhaps you could import some and sell them to the locals

Only idiots use microsoft:

Users of Windows 10, whose information collected by the Windows operating system about where users have been and what they’ve been doing on their devices, will be forcibly given to Microsoft whether they want it to be or not. It can’t be shut down

I use only kerosene heater when power cut, and it does not happen so often until now. But if I find detectors in Duhok I'll buy them, there's no hurry.

I have a more urgent need to find a yoga carpet and brick.
