Daily notebook from Duhok 2016

[Piling]

So after my 1st booze since January (3 vodka orange), the tomorrow verdict :

I have a good and fresh face, instead of the zombie appearance that water only days give me at morning.

[Piling]

Newroz days in Duhok : quiet and empty as an August 15th un Paris.

[Anthea]

I saw this and thought of you

phpBB [video]

[Piling]

Now I have just to think HOW to find nice Kurdish owners for the future tiny invaders…

The advantage of having cats is all you have to do is open the door and they take themselves for a walk

When dogs go for a walk, they require human slaves to accompany them and carry water and treats for them

[Piling]

I agree, having dog is like having children : no freedom anymore.

I think about buying contraceptive pills for cat next summer in France. Some say it is poison, but no other way to control birth here.

I think that is an excellent idea

The pill is not a poison nor is it murder

Drowning unwanted kittens is murder

Aborting unwanted human foetuses is murder

Just felt I had to add that because I used to teach sex education

And if someone has been raped they will be given the morning-after pill to prevent conception

Other than rape people know full well when they are having sex and nowadays there are a great many things on the market to prevent conception

[Piling]

Concerning cats sex education won't work a lot.

So the issue is : what to do with 5 kittens ?

Lilac is flourishing and perfuming the garden.

Have not been to sleep yet

South England has a gale

Gusts of wind more than 60mph

Trees falling down water coming up (floods)

It has been going on for hours and HOURS

[Piling]

There is also strong wind here but not so violent. Sotrm is coming I think.

Not go outside today, I will try to make my own bread and will post pictures if it is ok.

I love home-made bread

By the time wind got up to well over 70mph I hid beneath my bedclothes head under the pillow

Lots of trees blown down

Lots of everything blown down
