The continuing tale of Kulaksiz 5 as told by Pauline see link.

Margaretha needs her car back today and so Tariq volunteered to clean it all out ready for her to have it back. He is such a good little worker and sings as he is working! I know we pay him for it and he is a real saver but he is always asking if we have jobs for him to do. Bless him.

It was another hot and humid day, even the boys were dripping. We were going to take them out but decided  we were all better off staying by the pool and indoors when it was too hot.

We put some water in the paddling pool and Rosie enjoyed cooling off in there, once she had got used to it.

In the evening we returned the car to Margaretha and the boys had made her a card thanking her for the boat trip and loaning us the people carrier. They did it all on their own and made a good job of it.

Another hot day so I took Rosie out at 5.15, it’s a bit darker later in the mornings and the street lights were still on but at that time it was 33 degrees under the terrace. The sun soon came up over the mountain.

We thought there was a general strike but just before we were going out the men came from the Beledeysi to sort our non water problem. Mal went down to the mains pipes with them and they managed to fix it. Yeah, we have water again!! Thank you Ingrid for keep ringing them for us.

Later we went into Girne as the boys wanted to buy presents to take home.  The rest of the day was by the pool.

Phew another hot day, it went up to 37 degrees in the shade under the terrace. The pool was the best place to be. In between, they were learning how to draw with grandads assistance.

In the evening Mal cooked a BBQ just as well, I didn’t want to be indoors cooking.
