Events. Reached vlg. on "Arife" {gl : eve of festival} at 6.30'ish. i(0185 A.O.) at a funeral in evlik. i(Mustafa) in fields.

They put me and my belongings in the oda, and looked at the evlik dn photographs. After a bit I went and sat with i(0022 Selahaddin) and i(Mahir). i(Mahir)
claims i(Mehmet) has "yazdic"{?}. Got some very unsatisfactory stuff on i(Erhan) from a reluctant i(0022 Selahaddin).

About to pay some visits when i(0185 A.O.) arrived on foot from evlik complaining of old age and physical exhaustion. I went off to see i(Gleser) and give
sweets etc.; came back c. 8.30 to eat - a tasty bowl of "kabak" and ayran; no protein.

Then i(0185 A.O.) was sleepy and I went off to see i(0086 Haydar Bekar) and grandsons to give a copy (?) of T.V. to the student from Elazig.
And back to bed at 11.30. i(0185 A.O.'s) family had locked up and I had to use the car hooter to wake him up.
