Today, March 12, 2013 in Ankara

Hello friends,
Today, March 12, Lory decided to clean the walls of the entrance hall to the house. A new color emerged because there was lots of black dust stuck.
After having bought bus tickets for next Friday and having a wonderful walk together, with a çay and sweets break, we went back home and Yüksel came to have çay and talk. The conversation transformed into an English lesson for him. He already speaks some English and we had lots of fun. Next month he will start an English course. We invited him to eat with us but since he had already eaten, Lory and Peter did so while he continued with his English and dictionary.
At 7:45 pm the three of us went to Hacibaba cafe to meet with Aylin and Mehdi. None of them came, Aylin because she was sick and Mehdi because he had to study for tomorrow. Right when we sat at our table it started pouring rain and a strong wind started blowing. Something which, according to Yüksel, never happens in Ankara. But since we are Dutch, we are very used to this sort of weather and we stayed in the covered terrace and had some Turkish coffee, Kurdish coffee and chocolate. We continued talking quite well, using a small dictionary and laughing a lot. At a certain piont, Peter wanted to take a picture and leaned back with his chair more and more, until he almost fell on top of the table behind him were some very nice young men were sitting and burst out laughing. One of them offered to take a picture of the three of us and we laughed with them, all very lovely and fun.
At 9:15 pm we went home, Yüksel on his way because he was going to visit his son and we went our way. And again it started pouring so we got home and were all wet.
It was very nice spending time with Yüksel and he was quite happy.
We also talked to him about continuing with the weekly meeting, together with Zehra, and he accepted to guarantee that.

Tomorrow there will be a weekly meeting and then a shared dinner which we will prepare during the day.

A strong hug to all,
Lory, Yüksel and Peter
