A Saturday afternoon post
This is from a Judas Priest album cover. An attacking eagle, I imagine. Just suits to the day of Beşiktaş' last game this year. If things go smoothly, this will be the last game in our Inönü stadium as we know it. There will be a huge renovation due to start this summer.
Erkan is in an unusual depression nowadays. I shouldn't feel lonely, but i felt a intensive loneliness recently and yesterday I slept all day and did not go out. After my morning class, i rushed back home, dozed off while watching some Ealing Comedies. I got up at midnight and stayed awake until early morning.
Now we are out, Nurdan and I, have bought some presents for mum and an aunt who is visiting mum, and now we are having a rest in Cevahir's Starbucks.
Having relaxed after finding some presents for the Mothers' Day and I am sure mum won't like what we bought for her, i will do some reading and and go to Beşiktaş to get some drinks before the game.
Speaking of Mothers' Day, here is one of the Turkish Army's posters for the day:
Hmm, I realize I didn't notify you of my new laptop. Yes, i bought an old Sony Vaio 13'' which works fine for the first three weeks. That was a long process of decision making and i am still not sure if this is the best but whatever, it works fine for the moment and here in Starbuck i can use broadband through the TTnet account i am using at home.
anyway, the plan was Nurdan would be chatting and i would be reading and now I deliver my laptop to her and get back to reading...

Erkan,
Good luck with Besiktas and enjoy the game at Inonu.
I wish I was there.
In fact, I'm on my way across the street to Starbucks and order a latte in your honor.
Take care. And happy mothers day to all the moms and to all the children of moms and to all the husbands of moms.

Maybe it's the traveling, it kind of displaces me ... I come home and can't settle for a while. I hope that mood has passed now.
Congratulations on the laptop. I have TWO WEEKS in Istanbul for sure, I'll let you know dates via email :)
