Stockmarkets are plummeting, the dollar is gaining ground on the euro, the euro is gaining ground on the pound, the most disastrous American presidency in recent memory is coming to a close, the Turkish army is growing testy... The news waits for me downstairs, back in my apartment. It's in the morning FT, which I probably dropped on my bed after breakfast. It's on my Google Reader. It's in an article on Turkish foreign policy, which I printed a few days ago, and can no longer find.
That's all back in my room, two floors below. Here, though, up on my rooftop, it's just me, slumped in a beach chair, with a piece of bread and a bottle of ayran.
And this.
