I was awake at 3.00am being violently sick and seeing as I had exactly the same food as everyone else the previous night, my guess was that they had monosodium glutomate in something. I have to be very careful as I am allergic to it!

So, we were all up a bit later in the morning and Mal and Sol set to preparing the outside walls of the house ready for painting. Preparation always takes the most time.

Black cat has appeared again now we are back! She just tries to move back in. I have never been sure who she belongs to.

After Mal and Sol working hard, we went to Cano’s Green Palace in the evening.It was a nice meal.

I had a text from Rhys, a photo with him walking Ellie in foul weather in the UK. Sol usually looks after her and walks her but of course he is in Cyprus with us, so it looks as though Rhys has taken over that role.

We started off by doing some gardening and tried to decide what the most important things to do were. Part of the car port roof has blown off in the high winds, so we will have to replace that. I think it will be useful having Sol here! He has been helping out gardening.

It was around 20 degrees during the day, so very pleasant to be outside but the temperature drops a bit at night.

In the evening we decided to go to Tervetuloa. They have a lot of choice on their menu and Sol spotted Kleftico, which at some restaurants you order in advance but they had some and so that is what we all ordered. It’s an all in price there which means you just order the main course and everything else is included, meze, water, dessert, coffee and brandy.Kleftico was 46tl which at the current rate of exchange is £10.98. It was so delicious too.

We were the only ones eating but Marion Stuart came in later so we had a long chat with her as we haven’t seen her in such a long time. Of course she had her dogs with her.

We didn’t wake up until late but it was nice to see the sun coming through the window.

When eventually Sol woke up we went to Acmenya to pay for our car rental and had a long chat with the girl in there.  From there we went to get some food shopping. Lunch was outside and then we had a very lazy afternoon.

In the evening we ate at Silver Rocks as they are closing down for winter this week, so we made sure we had at least one meal there.

I have to say we have never had a bad meal there.
Back home and we sat under the terrace having a drink….or two!

The weather was awful in the early hours and windows and doors were rattling with the excessive winds. We were up early as we were flying to Cyprus. Mal managed to take Ellie for a walk but they both got soaked. We packed everything and went to collect Sol as he wanted to come with us. We dropped Ellie off with Rhys, she seemed excited to be with the kids.

Pegasus had text us the previous day to ask us to be there 3 hours before the flight because of increased security. Yes, we were there three hours early and the check in desks weren’t open! So we waited, and waited. The only benefit being we were second in the queue and asked if there were any leg room seats and she gave us them!

It was then is occurred to me I had forgotten my laptop charger. I knew exactly where I had left it! So, we went to Dixons and asked if they had a universal one. The guy who was serving us hadn’t a clue and didn’t know the difference between watts and volts. He told us no. We went to another shop, they didn’t have one either. Mal decided to go back to Dixons and speak to someone who knew what they were talking about. Success, yes they did have one!  We had something to eat and eventually boarded. The plane was an hour and a half late due to “traffic control in Istanbul”.

A boring flight as usual but at least there wasn’t much turbulence as we had expected.

Acmenya cars were waiting for us when we arrived, drove us to their office where they gave us our car.

David had left all the lights on in the villa for us, we sat outside and had a drink. Because of the now three hour time difference it was 3.30 am when we went to bed!

A lovely walk with Ellie but it was cold even though the sun was out. We then went to Howletts to meet up with Lou, Ollie, Oscar and Josie. Some of the animals were inside, I guess they were cold and Arina, the beautiful tiger was right over the other side of the enclosure, fast asleep. It’s always nice to walk around there whatever the weather. We never tire of it. Today the gorillas put on a show for us chasing each other around and play fighting.

Later we watched Andy Murray just scrape through and  then the football. Spurs v Hammers. I was pleased Spurs won. Mal wasn’t!!

Mal was working in the  afternoon and so in the morning we went for a long walk with Ellie and it was a nice sunny morning even though the temperature had dropped. Loads of toadstools and we also saw the heron on the lake.

 Later I dropped Mal off in Sturry and then went into Canterbury. This time I managed to find a new pair of trousers in M&S and also a nice warm fluffy jumper. This is the only problem with losing weight, my clothes don’t fit!

I am horrified to read about a bill  that they are putting forward in  Turkey. The bill will pardon statutory rape if the perpetrators  marry the victim. This is sick.

We spent the evening watching Children in Need. I believe Demelza receive a contribution.

Mal shouldn’t be working on Thursday but they asked if he would go and teach A level at their Ashford Campus!! As a one off he agreed, so again I dropped him off in Canterbury, I took Ellie to a different wood just outside Canterbury, hoping foxes wouldn’t have been there. I really didn’t want to spend all the time I did yesterday cleaning her. She behaved herself.

I started doing some gardening as there were leaves all over the lawn. Then it started raining. In fact each time I tried again the rain started so I gave up.

I wrapped some Christmas presents.

Mal enjoyed his day in Ashford, bit if a bonus as he gets paid for it!
