We took Rosie to the beach in the morning, down to Mare Monte. They have now padlocked the gate where you used to be able to drive to the beach. We have tended to go that way so it is less distance for Rosie to walk. There is also a huge ‘cement works’ there, obviously while they are creating the new Merit hotel. It used to be so nice and peaceful down there. Progress I guess. I still wonder if they are going to continue with the shopping centre and ZOO!!

Mal was not happy and called Extend again. We were told they were fully booked for today but they would ‘tack us on the end of their working day’. Imagine our surprise when they arrived at lunchtime. Two different workers this time, up on the roof again and hopefully now, they have solved the problem.
I cleaned out the utility room, an overdue job. All I heard from Mal was “oh, that is where it was”! Things tended to get dumped in there rather than being put away. So, a good job done.
In the evening we went out to eat and not feeling particularly adventurous popped down to B and I in Alsancak. We knew it was kleftico night and that was what we both chose, only to discover that you now have to order…be warned!
Instead we both had mixed kebab. It was enormous and very good. Some of the meat went in a doggy bag for Rosie and some Mal finished for me! We always say we have never had a bad meal there. It is also (in my opinion) the best Turkish coffee, probably because it comes from the coffee shop next door and they always bring water with it.
