Hey Tasha,

Seems I've been absolutely out. This long absence is rather hard to explain since I've been busy with some unpleasant cases ( and afew pleasant of course).

Hope you're O.K and your sickness is over ( sorry, I know it was long ago...)

Any way, I hope this time I won't be vanishing soon again !

These mid-summer days in Tehran are at some moments the hell itself; it's unbearably hot, today and tomorrow are specially forcasted to be the warmest days for this year.On the other hand, every body has a gleam of hope thinking the hard days are being over , We're passing the peak of heat and the other half of summer will be more promising heading Autumn.

A friend of mine is back from Canada on her short summer vacation, we've been friends since school , then during university years and then working together at the same wood workshop, to sum up it is some thing about 13 years... .
Our relation during these long years has turned to be something so special , a kind of long term accompany which has resulted in a deep unique friendship.The quality of friendship, this is what matters, this is what makes a relation different from dozens of others. When I think by myself, I see these friendships ( afew but so heavy) I've made , the most valuable and surviving things in my life.
Got sentimental again!

It's Friday, and for the first time during these weeks we're at home. We have a small garden outside Tehran, approximately 1:30 hours away, where we go for every weekend , specially during spring and summer. My father loves gardening and he has done a lot of gardening there , he has planted many different fruit trees : apple, apricot, walnut, peach, strawburry and... . And now it's the harvest time for most trees , we have just few of each kind but watching the ripe beautiful fruits up there on their home and picking them from the trees is a real pleasure. It's a compeltely different weekly experience getting away from Tehran with all its noise and compression back to a simple small land with basic facilities ... .

Wish you all the best and looking forward to hearing from you.
