Put some ice in a towel and apply it on the base of the neck

I might try that on myself because it is now 36c in local Morrison's car park

It is also a good way to cool human bodies

Here it is 36ºc also. Tomorrow might be 40ºc.

Cannot believe it is going to get even hotter today

Just as we get used to this lovely weather we are going to have thunderstorms

Often Kurds come to me for help, but then they do NOT take any notice of what I tell to do

I am becoming really fed up

Take the dynamic duo:

One who was my friend for many years became very jealous of another friend and caused he other friend a great many problems

NOW I am just fed up with the pair of them

Kurds do NOT understand that the employment and Health & Safety regulations have changed over the past few years

PAT Testing and Portable Appliance Testing

Portable electrical equipment used by members of staff now have to be PAT tested on a regular basis - this includes the kettle for their thousands of glasses of tea

Employers have to arrange pension plans for all their staff

Recently a friend dug into a wall containing asbestos

Many Kurds (most of ?) think that laws and rules are for others… the Westerners. As they lived without before, they suppose they can do for ever.

SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO SCREAM

It makes me furious when I tell someone what they need to do - then they ignore me and wonder why everything goes wrong

I told someone they had to have a sign in keeping with the other shops - a small sign flush with the building - they put up an enormous sticking out sign without planning permission

I wonder what they will do next

Lots of lovely thunder storms early this morning

Did your eternal fighters reconciliate each others, at the end ?

Did your eternal fighters reconciliate each others, at the end ?

I absolutely love your sense of humour

Simple answer

N O !

I have been incredibly busy

Far too much work and too few hours to do it all in

Prioritise

Those who are not an absolute priority get very upset

I have been talking so much that I lost my voice

MULTI-TASK

I have become an expert at multi-tasking

I do 2 different things on 2 different computers while speaking on the phone - reading a text message and listening to one of my other phones ringing

I NEED A HOLIDAY

Access to Twitter and other social media was temporally blocked by the Turkish government so that images of Monday's bombing in Suruc could not be shown for fear that it would inflame the situation and encourage further protests against the government for not doing more to prevent the bombing.

There does not appear to have been any attempt by the Turkish government to block images of the two police officers who were killed by the HPG, in reprisal for the bombing. Images of both police 'martyrs' along with images of their grieving families are flooding social media sites.

The bombing was horrendous, the repercussions may be even worse.

A friend of ours was going to attend the meeting in Suruc, but fortunately for him he was running late. We hope and pray that he and his family remain safe, or as safe as previous resident of Kobane can be after losing everything they ever owned, and all sources of income. A family who once lived happily as a large extended family are now destitute and divided across several international borders.

What is the worldwide response to the plight of former Kobane residents: we do not want these people in our country sponging of us, they only come here for the benefits. They do not want to be here or in France, Germany or in any other European country. All they want their homes back and their families reunited.

The coalition countries that were happy enough to flatten Kobane should donate for the reconstruction
