excuses and ...

sorry i procrastinated the posts on marmara island and edirne. i am inordinately full (not busy, really, just full!) and cannot seem to make time for my "pleasures". i am also moving out of the apartment on the bosphorus, just accross from topkapı palace and the princes' islands further away; that surely saps one's good moods.

as always in moments of depression, the right cure is a healthy dose of the aegean. i am going to bodrum soon, for the summer at least. i can sit at the balcony, watching the shadow of the castle on the water as yachts cruise by.

i certainly will not miss istanbul: everythhing that is bad here flocks there for the holidays, plus the insufferable noise from all those seaside clubs and our pride: the catamaran disco, the tin can of rackets, the only vessel i'll be happy to see sunken...

so if i have not been able to write, i have excuses...

of the other component completing the expression, well we have... galore!
