I was woken at 3.30 as I was feeling cold with the air con on! I couldn’t find the controller in the dark, obviously Mal’s side of the bed, so I got up! There was a house gecko sitting on the living room wall. Maybe he is just a normal gecko come in from outside as the house geckos seem to be more transparent looking.
A note on the Cyprus Problem, Property Issues.
All morning working, Mal doing some of the hedges with a break in the middle when he managed to cut through the electricity lead! Oh dear.
After a swim we went out to dinner. We stopped off at Acmenya first and Ali, the owner, was there..”Oh yes there will be a replacement car tomorrow.” Yes, we know all about “tomorrows” with the Cypriots. Then we called in on the sign makers to have the phone number on our ‘For Sale’ sign changed to my number. Mal took it in while I waited in the car. She would charge 10 tl for doing it and would do it while we wait. Of course Mal chatted to her about Rhys having had a business in screen printing and she asked if we can find out where he bought his inks from. Eventually Mal came out and it had the same number on it as it did when he took it in!!! Yes, she had changed it but was so busy talking had replaced it with the original number!!! We have to collect it tomorrow.
This time we went to Hanimeler for our dinner. I guess we enjoy restaurants by the sea. Another good brandy sour, please note I only drink about half and Mal drinks the rest as I am always driving!
However the shock came with the bill, they charged FIFTEEN lira for it!! Almost double the price of last nights. Mal also had another mixed grill, same price as last nights but nowhere near as good. We haven’t got a tan, I guess they thought we were tourists….not appreciated! Their big tip was reduced somewhat.
Guess who we bumped into on the way home?
Yes of course it was Steve, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since we last saw him. But nice to see him after all this time and he has invited us to go down for coffee before we go back.
To answer your question Clive, I still have my lovely Renault. It has been sitting under the car port as we took Ellie back to the UK earlier than originally planned because of an organisation playing silly buggers with us! So, the car needs a new battery and one tyre pumping up a little and I will sadly sell it. It has been so good but of course, it is never at the airport when we need it and it’s just sitting here. It still has a years MOT on it, any offers anyone as a run around? It has a new clutch and gear box. Ziggy has serviced it regularly and charges very little to repair (cheap parts and cheap tax ..about 60lira)
A nice home made brandy sour under the terrace when we were back home and just watching the stars. We keep thinking that Ellie is still here with us!! We do miss her but she is having a good time with Lou and Rhys, I bet there is all sorts of food dropped from their table with all those kids and she will be sitting under the table! But Lou sent me this picture and she seems to have made herself at home.
