No, the Beledeysi didn’t come yesterday, so we still have no water. We know this happened while we were away but we didn’t notice it until midweek. Our water comes from the other side of the road and a new drive has been made over there so possibly when the pipe was turned off.
Mal and I were both awake at 4.30 so we decided to get up and make a cup of tea. I always let Ellie out first thing and when I heard her growling at something in the bushes, I went to see what it was………..a hedgehog! I called her, told her to “leave” and “drop” but she had total focus on it. I made her sit but the minute I let go of her collar she had it in her mouth and was running around with it in a ball. Memories of the robin this was. Finally I managed to get her up on the swimming pool terrace and the only way she would drop it was in exchange for a treat. I didn’t want to give her one but had no option. Again she had been very gentle with it and Mal rescued it and put it in another one of the gardens. Not a good start to the day. By this time I felt like going back to bed again! More training needed, this is ongoing anyway but I need her to drop things from her mouth and quickly!
As soon as it was light we went out with her, anemones everywhere!

We bought
Cyprus Today on the way back. So,”five firms have come forward to express interest in establishing a new airline for the TRNC” AND “Atlasjet has announced it is to start flights to the UK in May (from Luton)”. I should imagine some people if going back to the UK in the summer, have booked early with Pegasus to benefit from cheaper prices the earlier they are booked. It will be interesting to see if eventually there will be competition for Turkish Airlines and Flypigs.
This is rather disturbing about Mehmet Goksoy supplying contaminated food. How do we find out? I certainly care about it.
A grey day and raining, after a lovely week. But very cosy indoors with the log burner just ticking over.
I heard from my sister and she has booked to come over and stay in June, that will be nice.
