I'm trying to.

By the way, I read last week's.

I liked it.

Which one do you mean?

Urban ugliness in Anatolia.

Aesthetic deprivation and so on.

- Right.

- Bravo.

How do you come up with

interesting ideas every week?

Did you really like it?

It was good.

It's not about wealth and poverty.

Poverty existed in the past, too.

If you only have three olives,

you can place them nicely on a plate,

or gobble them

out of the plastic bag.

I know what you mean.

I told you we went to the hodja's?

You know, our tenant.

Yes?

If you saw how filthy it was,

how messy.

- Did you go in?

- No, I mean the garden.

They've ruined it.

A woman lives there too,

but you wouldn't think so.

First of all, you are a man of God.

You should be a model

to your community.

Shouldn't you be neat and tidy?

Who is he? Do I know him?

No, you wouldn't.

An old tenant

from back in my father's day.

I'd walk past him in the street.

Just a crooked, shabby guy.

I don't know...

Shouldn't men of God

be a model to the public?

Especially in rural areas.

Perhaps I should write about that

next week?

The very thought of him

gets on my nerves.

Of course, write about

anything you want.

But...

Wouldn't it be better to write

for a bigger paper

instead of a local one nobody reads?

Then at least it would be worth

all your efforts.

I don't feel I'm making any efforts.

I mean, I hear you typing away

in front of your computer all week.

That's why.

If you didn't bring me that paper,

I wouldn't even know it existed.

That's what I mean.

Frankly, I don't give a damn

about big papers.

My kingdom may be small

but at least I'm the king there.

I mean, who's going to read

this paper?

Who's going to buy it?

I don't agree with you,

my dear Necla.

On the contrary.

Sometimes I receive

letters from my readers

that prove to me

I'm on the right path.

Even my efforts, as you say,

feel more than worth it.

- Take yesterday...

- Yes but sometimes on the Internet,

some awful writers get praised

to high heaven.

Everyone has their fans somehow.

That's why I think one shouldn't

take such praise so seriously.

I mean, that shouldn't be

your reference.

Anyway, keep on writing.

Don't let me distract you.

I'll just lie down here.

In silence.

The mud makes driving up here hard.

Why don't you lay some gravel?

The tourists like it this way,

it's more natural.

I didn't say asphalt, I said gravel.

That's natural too.

With gravel,

half the tourists wouldn't come.

Very few clients in winter, in fact.

Wouldn't be worth it.

Of course nobody comes with this mud.

Don't want everyone here anyway.

I just want those who value

a natural setting.

Fancy a sprint?
