My thoughts of the day

[Piling]

Some visitors are amazing… A whole family came in the Library ' to watch the books', with a big and shouting baby in their arms.

I wondered if they were going to change his pants and his pampers on the table among the reviews and the books

Too bad that people are so agitated here, because I've just learnt the REAL REASON of Salih Muslim's blocking at KRG border

But I don't tell it now, people are too noisy so I shut my mouth.

Rather mean of you

I try to beat you at may jong but can't. I suspect a genetic ability in British to beat French in all games, and not only rugby

But you did beat me at 2 of the games and between us we have beaten most of the men who have tried the games - perhaps women are genetically predisposed to winning non-physical games

I attribute my highest scores to an excess of Cadbury's chocolate

Today is the last working day of the week. France does not celebrate Halloween but November 1st / Toussaint (All Saints). Catholicism has advantages, mode feasts than Protestants.

I would love to know what the real reason is

[Piling]

Well I can tell it but not prove it (that's only KDP oral sources).

When Salih Muslim's son burial happened, a KDP delegation did want to attend the funeral and to enter in Western Kurdistan, but PYD/YPG did exige a 'visa' from without which they would not allow to enter in Rojava.

It would have shocked Peshmergas from KRG who watch the border. So when Salih Muslim at his turn, wanted to come in KRG, Peshmergas told him to enter 'with a visa or not'.

(You have to know that at Pesh Khabour gate, the unity of Peshmergas depend directly on the presidency, not from Duhok or other authorities).

Then these brave fighters told to Muslim : go back to your Rojava and ask politely permission to enter

Barzani was not aware of that at first but apparently when he learnt that he should have found it very funny and supported his guys.

So it would be the real meaning of KRG answer : Salih Muslim should educate himself instead of talking about good manners to others.

Beside that, there is the issue of KRG participation to Geneva conference : Kurdish National Council of W. Kurdistan wanted it, PYD did not, of course, and then Salih Muslim was invited to find alone a way to go to Geneva, via his 'good friends', Syria, Iraq or Iran, and even Turkey.

The funny thing is that Muslim makes a scandal in all the Kurdish press, and he would have told ' they refused me the right to go to my son's grave" : but his son is buried in West, not in KRG !

So now that small incident had a snowball effect : PÇKD (Southern PKK branch) has been closed in Zakho and a Kurdish party closed to KDP in Syria has been closed by the PYD.

[talsor]

YPG should stop their media campaign against KRG and other political groups in Western kurdistan . In this video 8:55 they openly accuse KRG of being a supporter of Terrorist groups . Like I said in the past if you are not PKK/YPG then you must be a Jash . I do not hate PYD , but their political line is truly disgusting and promote division among kurds . Aside from the refugees coming from western kurdistan , KRG should completely seal it's border from YPG .

Note how fresh the flags are :

Sorry but the project is not ready to start You got the 64, the last hexagram of the I Ching, a situation in which all had to be done, the river has to be crossed, and you are on the shore, just before a long and hard swimming journey.

You got the 2nd line, which says : the wheels of the chariot are braked ; opportunity are still uncertain : the season is winter.

What does it mean ? It is a good exercise to read yourself aloud the oracle and let all images flow in your mind.

What I can say myself is that there is something or someone who reins in your chariot. It is not necessary a bad thing if it can prevent you to run too fast with a final crash…

The text does not say it is impossible (in that case it would have said 'dead-end'). Uncertain opportunity is like a seed in the ground of the field, in winter, which has to wait for the spring : when you will see if the seed is good (new plant) or infertile.

So for the moment, be patient, if things happen it will be not immediately.

Thank you Piling

It sounds about right because I am still working with my friend on his business deals

I am in control of a KURDISH man - actually a very sweet, polite, kind, caring, helpful, generous, well-dressed, very handsome, clean-shaven, non-drinking, non-smoking, Kurdish gentleman - and he has promised me a lovely large office of my own - with a handsome male secretary

Recently a shop has become available but I feel obliged to continue helping my friend - rather than taking on the shop - if my finances change I could take on the shop and place someone else in it

Agatha detested barbecues. Barbecues were from Americans, Australians and Polynesians, or any of those other people with a good climate. The English, from her experience, delighted in undercooked meat served off paper plates in an insect-ridden garden.

Various people were standing around the garden drinking some sort of fruit cup. Agatha, who felt in need of a strong gin and tonic, wanted more than ever to flee.

Agatha sighed and sank down into a garden chair. She opened her handbag and took out her cigarettes and lighter and lit a cigarette.
'Do you mind awfully ?' Her host stood in front of her, brandishing a knife.
'What ?'
'This is a smoke-free zone.'
Agatha leaned round him and stared at the barbecue. Black smoke was beginning to pour out from something on the top. 'Then you'd better get a fire extinguisher,' said Agatha. 'Your food is burning.'

I've just beginning the book and I don't know that series. But it sounds funny, exactly as I am when invited by boring people !

Looks like fun - I am more into thrillers with twists and turns
