Mal and I went shopping, mainly to buy some new seat cushions for the outside chairs. As everyone will know, things fade and rot here in the sun. We went to Stormax in Karaoğlanoğlu. Typical, the ones I really liked, only two of them and we needed four. In the end we found some, a set of four for 69tl. We popped into Lemar and whilst I was shopping Mal had a quick look through the midweek Cyprus Today, which I hasten to add has also gone up in price to 3tl. Nothing worth reading, so we are correct, not worth the 3 tl price! I have the feeling many will feel the same as we do. If it were genuinely newsworthy I am sure we would all spend the money but it is not.
On the way home we stopped in Hur Deniz to buy some fresh levrek (sea bass). Mal has a really good way of cooking it stuffed with ginger and spring onions. We also stopped at the vets to buy some more Rimadyl for Rosie. The Prof had run out! No problem, we would go to the pharmacy that sells them. When we arrived there, they didn’t have any either and she told me it would be two weeks before any more would come in! I even went into Garfields vets to be met with a “finish”. Luckily I have 7 days worth left, so hopefully someone will be able to get some soon.
We just finished lunch when the log man arrived. We thought we may as well buy the logs now, even though we had a few left. We paid 300tl for I am not sure how many. It gets so confusing here because it is ‘cubic’ rather than tons but a good thing Mal has a mathematical brain and worked out it was about the right price.
So, he dumped them all off his van and then Mal realised rain was forecast for the following day, so he had to move them all to the log store to keep them dry. The weather forecast for Thursday and Friday is rain and storms. Because of this the Bex Marshall concert that was to be held in the Amphitheatre, the venue has now been changed to Jasmine Court.
