And here comes the summer!

Summer in Turkey is beautiful, but also quite oppressive with extreme heat, constantly making us chase for shade. Those who are financially able enjoy themselves in summer resorts by the sea and rivers, while folks like us cherish even the slightest shade. Most of my time is spent on the back balcony of my house; it cools down nicely after noon. I can’t describe it; I take my book, make myself some coffee, and enjoy reading amid the chirping of birds from the nearby trees. I don’t know how time passes, but I love doing this. People truly deserve relaxation; life would be unbearable otherwise.
