New Years

Been trying to find out when the last ferry is from the other side so we can go to the fireworks over there. There doesn't seem to be anything organised for this side at all. The last ferry (which has been added just for tonight) is at midnight! What a stroke of genius!! Guess we will be watching them from a vantage point over here.

It is also the first day of Eid today - the slitting throats one. People are confined to designated throat-cutting centres. Yesterday there was a thing in the news about a bull getting away from some men who were trying to get it back into their truck (yes truck) so they could take it home for today's celebrations. Anyway the bull got away and about 5 men were hanging onto the rope. One man was throwing rocks at the poor thing! I do not know what happened next but there were people on the ground and it was quite a rammy! No doubt they will be visiting casualty along with all the others who really should be more careful wielding a knife.

So we are off until Thursday (Umut though is off all week - jammy ##%%$#!) What to do...?
