"Hi" from Kurdistan

[Diri]

@Evîn

Haha I know what you mean... Just keep repeating those words "work to live, not live to work" Hahaha

I haven't had the chance to go I'm afraid - it's been sooooo distant in both mind and place... I'm still around in Norway, yes... And I don't think you should be going either - with the recent events... But maybe things will settle till spring? Nothing's ever safe, realy... Even ones own home can be an accident waiting to happen... Right...?

God forbid, of course...

You know you're right of course Dîrî but even in a democratic country like England, it's harder for women to get on in business, it seems we have to work twice as hard as the guys to achieve recognition, not to mention bringing up a family too!

Things are getting easier though now, my kids are growing up sooooo very fast and are both very independent these days, so I've much more free time than I used to have, weyhey!

The more 'S' talks about Kurdistan in Spring, the more I think that'd be the best decision, Newroz parties and picnics sound great and hopefully things will have settled down again by then.

Keep having fun and love to 'Z' x

Guess what...

I just came back from York... And I don't remember if I told any of you here on Roj Bash before I went... Did I?

Well - I'm back now... It was just a 2 week stay - study trip - to be exact...

Indeed - I agree. You should put it off till spring - when the grass is green and the birds sing with joy while the rivers form and flow from melting snow from snow covered mountain tops... Kurdistan is so beautiful! Mashallah!

I wish I could go... I'm stuck with my studies...

Dîrî, how naughty, I can't believe you were in York, that's like just one hour away from here

Hope you enjoyed your stay and had a nice time, York's a lovely place, very quaint and old-fashioned, very different from Manchester!

I was there in May, the place was flooded, I mean like ducks on the main road through the centre of town, we had such a laugh!

OK, between you and S I'm totally sold, Spring in Kurdistan it is and I'll send you lots and lots of pics to help with the 'homesickness'. Spring just seems sooooo far away, sob! I know, I know, patience is a virtue

Now I do feel bad... I should have made sure you knew... Sorry. Although at the same time, I didn't want to make a big fuss about it - as it was a study trip...

Ducks? Hahaha - don't speak of ducks... I loath those creatures - they were all over the university campus! Attacking us whenever they thought we had food in our plastic bags...

If I hadn't become ill the second week (and I still am) - I'd enjoy it far more... But, indeed, York is a beautiful city in itself - although a little life-less... The kind of place one would go to for a stroll or a romantic dinner and for historic insight for those interested in such...

I'll let you know next time I'm in the nearabouts...

No worries Dîrî, perhaps it's for the best, not sure you'd have gotten much studying done visiting our madhouse!

Sorry to hear you've been poorly, that's just awful when you're away from home, hope you're feeling much better very soon.

Yes, you got York down to a tee, perfect for romantic strolls and dinners... I was there with a group of girls, not quite the same!

Yes, you definitely must left me know next time you're in the UK, we've been saying we'll meet up since you were in nappies

Haha - the worrying part is: I think I'd fit right into that "madhouse"... The mader the better - I'd feel more relaxed...

Yeah - I've probably just been too careless with my diet etc... It's my throat - it hurts a lot and I caugh a lot... Oh well - I'll survive...

Nappies!!!


Where did Zia go, by the way???

[Barış]

Hope you get well soon, Diri.
I dig your new hairstyle.

Thank you Bariş can - it's my throat - it's killing me... I caugh and caugh - especially in the evenings...

Thank you But I guess it's changed a bit since that photo...

It's grown longer... I always wanted to save my hair till it's veeeery long... Like 50 cm...

[raman82]

Sohrab you hippie go cut your hair LOL ....and go take some Riccola , that stuff is da bomb , that in conjunction with sprays (sore throat). Your coming down with a flu or cold , sore throat is the first sign.

Hahaha

It's not quite that long yet... It's just 3-4 cm (1.5 inches) at the moment...

Riccola is a good idea... But don't worry - it's just a virus infection... Courtesey of my trip to the UK - probably drank water or ate food containing bacterias I wasn't immune to... Oh well - what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger...

By the way - I despise medication in the form of spray...
