In South-West (Pyrenees). In Paris, we had just morons demonstrating and blocking the train 2 h (But I left soon so I escaped to the trap).

Since last friday, lost 6,6 lbs.

Monday I start a new project : a pocket Kurmancî- French dictionary. A publisher specialized in mini dictionary (7000-8000 words) in many languages asked it.

An excellent idea as so few people will ever use the full vocabulary

I need a pocket Kurmancî-English dictionary

What is going to happen to the Institute?

Is there any definite news yet?

2 days ago, there was a charity gala in Paris, but people did not give much. That's not in french habits to make private charity.

The next council of administrators will be at the end of the month. We'll see.

I don't know. It is like watching a too long and uncertain agony. After a certain time, you are just impatient that it ends, whatever the result. As says Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest (ma favourite play of Oscar Wilde) :

Well, I must say, Algernon, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. This shilly-shallying with the question is absurd.

1 h of interview by TRT Kurdî. Exhausting. When Kendal is not in the Institute, I am the ONE who is supposed to talk to TV in Kurdish.

They seem happy but I think they are indulgent with me.

I am certain you did an excellent job

You knowledge of all things Kurdish is far greater than the majority of Kurds

Your grip of the Kurdish language is far better than that of most Kurds

I am certain that left to your own devices the Institute would flourish

The council of administrators allows a reprieve for the Institute : it stays open until tne next council, in February 2016. 9 months to find 500 000 euros, lol.

The council of administrators will have to work hard so that they have something to administer next year

Paris is hot and sticky. Paris is a toffee let under the sun.
