Last weekend marked the first birthdays of Berahan and Aaliyah. They are the twins of our friends Murat and Esra. Murat and Esra threw a party for them at their house and invited the usual suspects + kids. It was really nice to catch up with everyone again and meet some new faces.
As usual we ate great food; mantı, kısır, mercimek köfte, dolma and loads of pasta ('cake' in Turkish) all washed down with loads of tea! Ayşegül made a dairy free, wheat free cake, as, like me, her son is allergic; it tasted so great!
After we ate the guys headed off to play basketball at the courts opposite the house and the ladies sat around, ate some more and talked and moaned a little about our other halves. It was then that I learned that two of the other wives had no idea that our wedding was only a couple of weeks away as their husbands had not cared to share the info with them and also partly because my husband-to-be had not bothered to hand out the invitations. It's so typical isn't it? Uf ya!!
