Revisit of the Berry Island Club

If we are staying in one spot for too long, we feel like we are growing roots there. This is now a reality with Diesel Duck, because her antifouling paint has pretty much stopped working what little there is left of it. So when the wind changed direct…

2011 endings and some new words in Turkish

I went to my Turkish lessons today though apparently they had been canceled for Christmas!  Somehow I missed that when it was discussed at last week’s lesson.  Denise came to the restaurant, saw me there and very kindly gave me a lesson…
