A Great Day

Seven of us went to the Tandoori restaurant in Besiktas for dinner this evening. The first time I have been there but certainly not the last. Afterwards, we walked to and around inside the Four Seasons Hotel, (pictured) just because the view of the Bosphorus is so lovely as was their seasonal decor, before walking on to Ortakoy for a hot drink and taxi home. This was at the end of an unremarkable day spent in a vegetative state because outside was overwhelmingly cold and grey (with morning rain too). In fact, I had moaned to Karen earlier saying what an awful day it was, to which she replied that it was, on the contrary, a great day. A great day for staying home, sitting on the sofa in front of the TV or reading and generally 'doing nothing'. I liked that. Hope it's a great day tomorrow, for everyone.
