This evening we celebrated Talo's birthday. He is my colleague and the nephew of our manager. He cooked chicken and rice for us, his favourite dish (very common food in Kurdistan, I think all Kurdish people love it!) . Four of us: he, his uncle, Andi (another girl from Hungary working here) and me have eaten with good appetite and even better mood. We sipped tasteful Spanish wine. In fact, some of it is still here with me, by the computer.
This dinner helped my inner world to get into good balance again. All afternoon I was walking on the busy streets of Edinburgh. Traffic, a lot of people. I wished I was reclining on the sofa down in our room, in quiet. Tomorrow, I'll do that.
And when I got back, there was this tasty dinner waiting on the table.
Simple things do make a difference.
