Drying vegetables on the roof to be made into stock:
Teaching friends how to make pom poms and enjoying
the woodburner in their cold village:
A neighbour caught an owl in their village and brought it round to us as a gift.
We politely declined- I hate birds in cages. He went with Jy to let it go free in some trees:
Enjoying some winter sun, ice cream and a mini hike:

It took a while but I love seeing K reading chapter books on her own now:

I went with three friends (mums from karate) to choose new dress material. There were heaps and heaps of bolts of fabric- quite overwhelming! I had one of those moments realising I'm never truly going to fit in here- everything I liked the other ladies turned their noses up at; everything they told me to buy I didn't like! But in the end we all ended up buying exactly the same! They thought it would be fun going on picnics all wearing the same dresses- again, something I'm never going to totally get I don't think!
Weekend market:
The nice new (but not very green) park in the bazaar:
I made this 'rabbit' for a new baby:
Karate dinner:
A quick climb up our local hill with visiting friends:
Out for birthday dinner:
The word for mother-in-law in Kurdish is the same as for cactus! Interesting!
Enjoying time in the park with friends:
Kitten!
