Back into the routine, we were up at 5 walking Ellie, before it became too hot.

Then of course we had all the work to sort out. It looks as though we have had no water all the time I have been away. No water but the hedges etc have really grown, so will all have to be cut. The bougainvillea is also hanging too low down the drive.

We took the car down to Ziggy at the garage as it has started making a clonking sound. He put it on the ramp and the bearings at the front need replacing. We have to take it back tomorrow. There was also a smell of petrol and one of the pipes had perished, so he did that straight away.

A lovely swim in the afternoon and actually managed to swim and also get on the  Lilo without Ellie barking and going crazy. To be honest I think she was just too hot! The pool was 32 degrees! I have handed over pool cleaning to Mal!

Packed up again and off to the airport. Pegasus again but this time stopping in Izmir. Usual totally boring flight. David was at the airport to meet us and He had taken Ellie to our house and put the air con on. She was so pleased to see us!

I missed Murray’s match but then probably just as well as he is out of Wimbledon.

We topped up the gas in the caravan, packed everything up and cleaned everything. Mal said it was very strange going into the office and no Fred, Roy or Darren!

We then drove up to Torin’s house. He was still working but we waited and then went out for a meal in Biggleswade. A lot of people are saying how good The Lounge is, so we thought we would give it a try. It is beyond us how it ever got 5 stars on Trip Advisor and certainly wouldn’t go back there for their overpriced tasteless food!!

Mal decided to have their grossly overpriced “burger” . I had Monkfish and scallops but that was tasteless too.
