Örümcek kadın
Being a language junkie, I'm not surprised that Turkish fascinates me. The only question is how much attention I can divert from my very serious effort to speak fluent French - an effort that has probably been undertaken too late in life. Nobody is ever going to expect me to speak Turkish, however, so every little pearl that I produce will be congratulated, at least once - to which I shall reply, teşekkür ederim: thank you.
Turcophones who happen upon this site will doubtless be disturbed by this post's heading: it means "spider lady." And that's significantly different, isn't it, from "Spider Woman of Wall Street." Read the article, from the Turkish newspaper Referans. It took forever for Kathleen to send me the PDF file, and another forever for me to do something with it. The original photograph wasn't quite so ghastly.
Thanks, by the way, to Ekrem Nurhan, who saw the "Infusion" picture of my hand and worried (before reading) that I was seriously ill. I was pretty seriously ill, before these infusions came into my life!
