Daily notebook from Duhok 2016

[Anthea]

Desperately need an idea for a birthday in 1 month. Considering the place where I live, I wonder what kind of DIY could I start.

Kurdish women's liberation movement

[Piling]

It is not for a woman

[Anthea]

It is not for a woman

Something serious

Something reall that will help the people

Thinking

[Anthea]

A Kurdish history, arts and cultural centre

[Piling]

I don;t want to help the people. People have to help themselves !

I want to find an idea of birthday gift for a male without vices.

Perhaps you could interest him in a few vices

How old is he?

What is h interested in?

Perhaps a book

[Anthea]

English men are easy to buy for

Cuff-links - ties - scarves - cd - dvd - aftershave - jumper - iPad

[Piling]

I can offer my own new book but considering how Duhok post office works, I doubt it will be there in one month



In fact I need an idea of DIY gift, but without needles and tools and woods etc. I have 2 left hands for such things.

But he is himself lefthand. I wonder what kind of stuff is useful for that minority.

A signed copy of your latest book is a perfect gift

Can he read French?

[Anthea]

A painting

You could paint something just for him

Something abstract would be fairly easy and he would love it just because you painted it especially for him

[Piling]

A signed copy of your latest book is a perfect gift

Can he read French?

Yeah. But I don't trust Duhok post office. The parcel could arrive after I achieved the 7th tome of the saga.

I wonder why everybody think that offering my own book is a perfect gift. In a certain way, it is a DIY gift…

You could write a special poem to your friend inside the the book

I still think a painting would be good

Perhaps you could find a local artist to help you

[Piling]

I am a terrible painter and I love GOOD paint, so I stay abstinent.

GOSH you get up early

It is 5am in the UK and I am going to bed

I think it is 8am in Duhok

I am nocturnal perhaps I was a bat in a previous life

I love taking the dogs through the woods in the dark

I come alive in the moonlight because I am a witch

Question:

Do you know what happened about the visit to see Ocalan?

Did the delegation just give up and go home?
