Definitely shirtsleeve weather and scent of flowers in the air, especially orange blossoms. Take the dolmuş out along Karaoğlanağlu and collect oranges, strawberries, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. Do have all these at our little local store, but these are both cheaper and nicer. Strawberries have a lovely scent.
Stop at a photographer’s to get a print made of a photo on my iPad. No language in common but the man can see what I want and gestures to ask about size. I write down 13 cm X 18 cm. He is delighted with the precision and takes the iPad from me. It’s set up in English of course, but this is a process he’s been through many times. And then I have it. Yes? Yes!
Back by dolmuş. Nothing we really need - unless our little supermarket….It does! Ramadan flatbread with sesame seeds on top. On the shelf outside the oven, still hot. So home for bread and cheese and a shared half litre of Tuborg. Sun on the patio and mist enfolding the mountain peaks.
