A bit of everything
It’s been an unusual week so far. I just had to check that it was Thursday as I woke up to see the Blue Star calling in, which it usually does on a Wednesday at about that time. Perhaps it was delayed yesterday due to weather. The day started warm and bright, but clouded over later and, in the afternoon, the cloud thickened. The sky was a dull, battleship grey over Turkey, with a sheet of rain obscuring the coast. This gradually inched closer, accompanied by the sound of distant thunder, until we started to see flashes of lightning in the cloud. Finally, we had some rain, but the worst of the storm must have passed by at a distance, though the internet did keep dropping in and out – so maybe there was some local electrical interference.
We had an earthquake rumble past the other day. Nothing huge, but I felt it from my desk, and the floor shook. We’ve also had the odd power cut which I expect was for essential maintenance, plus high wind for one day/night, and a chilly day coming before a warm one… It’s that time of year. Meanwhile, there’s the sound of the road extension being prepared (the sound of rocks being tipped or moved, or blown apart over beyond the new port), and I heard yesterday the main town square is being redesigned to provide an amphitheatre? I’ve not been to Yialos since February, so I’ve not seen nor heard about it, but it sounds interesting.
