Into the ravine and through Incesu after the mountains. It was still quite dark when we left home! We saw Jekka and David just coming back from their walk.

Fantastic news from Tulips (Help those with Cancer) concerning Sunday’s “Pasta for a Purpose”.

A grand total of 10,400TL was raised for Tulips yesterday.

The target was a minimum of 500 meals but ideally Veni Vici wanted to hit 1,000 so with what was cooked and served yesterday plus some generous donations we received today we can say that the equivalent of 1,040 meals were sold!”

Tulips would like to thank…….
Richard and Nadine (owners of Veni Vici) – for coming up with this fabulous idea and making it so successful

Veni Vici staff – all these guys worked for free for charity from 9.30am to …… (I don’t know what time they went home)

Perde Brown & Jeanie Lindsay – for donating their services to help raise more for Tulips

DJ Mike & Pam – for playing some fabulous music (including the Pasta Song) and filling the dance floor

Danny Bishop – for his ‘free’ labour in getting the garden ready for the dancing

Ileli Supermarket – for supplying all the food at cost price

Volunteers – you were all fantastic and all worked so well together – a fantastic team

Everyone who came – all the organising in the world would be useless if you did not support these events

Our sincere thanks go to everyone involved who made this happen!

We went into Korinia Estates because we have decided on them to sell our property. Their website comes in the top 3 in TRNC and also we bought our land from them all those years ago. Today we took copies of our deeds in for them. We hadn’t realised there was a lady in there that was working with Guy all those years ago when we bought the land and she remembered us. We certainly remembered her. We were at the stage during one August of trying to get the paperwork complete whilst buying the land. We ended up camping out in Korinia’s office because nothing was moving and I believe we were only here for 4 weeks. We kept asking and asking why it was taking so long. In the end this lovely lady walked the paperwork from one office to another. It was as simple as that but I am afraid in those days things moved very slowly. We were and still are so very grateful to her. We don’t forget people’s kindness. Guy’s son, Gürkan and his wife are now running it. Thinking back I realise we had the difficult times, everything has become so much easier now and even getting water from Turkey! How things have progressed.

We went shopping and then my favourite occupation…………laying in the pool with this fantastic view.

A long walk in the mountains. I am making the most of the beautiful sun rise each morning.  On the way back down we saw Res walking her five dogs.

Gardening and swimming, what a life……great. We are very lucky.

A swim in the morning and then David and Kenny came to pick us up and we also called for Res and off we went to Veni Vici. The pasta was excellent and I am pleased to say there was a constant stream of people both eating there and having take aways. By the time we left the number had reached 381 so who knows they may reach their 1000 meal target by 11pm tonight. We had a few drinks and a lovely afternoon and we all bought take aways to put in the freezer.

We bought Cyprus Today, for what it was worth, certainly wasn’t worth the 4tl we paid!

We watched the football in the afternoon. I think it must have been a blip with DigiTurk last week. This week we had three matches, one after the other and what a good match the Hammers game was! Sam has certainly sorted the team out big time. A 3-1 win against Liverpool. A good game to watch.

We invited David and Kenny over for lunch. I don’t know how I did it but the whole meal had an Italian theme. Not intentional. But I think because I haven’t felt too well this week, I missed something off the starter, forget the salad with the main, which was just sitting in the kitchen and left the cream to go with desert in the fridge!! Hopeless. At  least I managed to eat the chilli and garlic in the main! I haven’t been able to do that all week.  My mouth is improving a little.

A walk in the ravine. I still had a sore throat and ulcers…ouch!

Not feeling that great but this made me laugh. It reminded me of Margaretha, bless her. The kindest person I know towards dogs.

We walked Ellie in the mountain and going past where the part carcass was a day or so ago, she walked on, never taking any notice so we presumed the foxes had removed it. On the way back she made a run for it down the mountain and would not come back no matter how much we screeched at her. In the end Mal had to climb down to grab her (he was not impressed as he was scratched to pieces)! That was it, on the lead and in disgrace.

Later we went to the pharmacy as although I had some bonjela for my mouth ulcers, my throat was sore, so the pharmacist recommended a spray which I am using. I think I must be coming out in sympathy with Rhys. We also bought some vegetable squash so I can make soup for lunch, much easier to eat.

I slept all afternoon, unlike me.
