Thanks for dropping by. I hope you find something of use, interest or amusement within this semi-chaos. I have long described myself as being horizontally organised, that is, everything spread out in "neat" piles across the table and usually overflowing onto the floor. I am relieved to see that others share my disability, therefore, please bear with me while I attempt (yet again) to put my life and mind in order!
About me. My daughter Derya. My wife Günes.
Time for a coffee break. Some amusing Quotes?
