Nice to see the sun again! Mal cleaned the pool and backwashed. It is in very good shape thanks to David. It’s funny being back here and hearing things that are going on around you, as this “Tale of Buyuk Han“.
It’s surprising what you find when you start clearing things out and I have so many photos here. This one is of my mum and dad in their pub with Torin as a toddler which must make it around 1973!!!! A nice find for just after Mother’s Day!

For anyone walking their dogs in the Alsancak/Lapta area, a warning from KAR……..
“Please be wary if you are walking your dogs behind Teos Restaurant on the Alsancak lapta border.
There is a road behind the restaurant that leads past a goat farm.
A dog died on Friday after eating something in that area. Police have been informed”
We went into Girne, to Kibtek to put some money on to our electricity account to cover the period up until our next visit. The simplest way is to go into the office. It is supposed to be online but that doesn’t seem to be up to date. We were a little short from the last amount we left and so we had 99 kurus fine! At least we weren’t cut off.
I had almost forgotten that all the drivers here leave it in the hands of Allah, whether or not they will die on the road today. B****y awful drivers, second to only Turkey I am sure. 50% are on their phones and the other 50% don’t have any indicators.
As we were in Girne we decided to go a little further to Çatalkoy where we heard there is a newish restaurant which we hadn’t been to before. It’s called The Kitchen and is next door to Supreme Supermarket. It was so nice we sat outside. Charming waiters and such fresh fish! Mal had the fish skewers with prawns and I had Sea Bass. They both looked so good we swapped half. Really top class food. They have a lot more than fish on the menu and on Sunday’s they told us they do Kleftico and have over 100 people in for Sunday lunch! It’s a huge restaurant although it doesn’t look it from the outside, with a large play area at the side for the kids. We were really impressed. A soft drink, Efes, large water and our main courses was 82tl.
It’s glorious weather during the day but clear skies at night which means the temperature drops considerably, so we have the log burner alight.
