Weird weather.  Woke to overcast and breezy, so cancelled plans to take the ferry to the Asian side of Istanbul and instead, spent the morning with Nohut the cat at home doing not a lot.  After a paltry lunch (very little food in) and well over an hour chatting to Robin in Baku via FB messenger video call, and a lovely long catch up call with Bev and Nigel in Suffolk, I finally remembered the need for teabags so walked to the bakkal (general store) by which time the clouds had rolled away and the sun was out to play but fairly cool - around 26ºC .

By the time I was on my second cuppa, the clouds had rolled in again and with the breeze, look like they are here to stay. I don't mind. It's nice not to be sticky hot.
