Dear Tasha,

How are you, How is it all going?

Hope you have good days with the nice sun in London. But here, our situation is absolutely opposite, we're neither enjoying the terribly hot sun, nor looking forward for more sun at all, the days are cruelly hot now in Tehran ,especially during the midday. Every body seems to be getting mad and is just trying to get out of sun! Intresting , isn't it ? You're celebrating the sunny days there and here we're miserably escaping the sun and the heat of the last spring days ( I'm sure we'll have an absolutely hot summer...).

How is your granny after all, I hope you have good news about her...

And as usual: sorry to be off for a long time, I'm getting through my Master defence session in about two weeks and nothing seems to be on time.

My subject is designing wooden dollhouses for children aged 3-5 ( think I had written it before!) . I'm going to upload one of the 3D samples of my practical phase. To be honest, I like the apple figure of this dollhouse myself and the wooden prototype seems happy and funny too ... . I would be so happy to have any opinion of yours about it.

So cool !!! how did you find about that Farsi word, do you have any Iranian friend or links? In Farsi we say Salam, which means Hello in English, I like how it sounds and also the meaning ; It means happiness, health and peace... . We share this word with Arabs, but Khodahafez is completely Farsi.

I'll be out of school for the summer holidays , which lasts about three months here, the students love the long vacation, going out to different summer classes e.g sports , music , arts, science and ... . They also enjoy going out to shopping centres and entertainment complexes with friends and family.It's a really HOT season for the youth here!!!

I'm now dreaming the time when all is finished with my thesis, and I can be rather free ... . Seems far away however!

All the best

Farnaz
