Oh wow did we have a storm during the night? Thunder, lightning and then torrential rain. When Ellie and I went out, I had to wear shoes and a mac! By the time we were back home, the sun was out again.

Gardening in the morning. I felt something itching on my back. So many people have told me that they have had ticks on them, I am terrified I will get one as Ellie has them on her when we come back from walks. Well, it would have been quite funny to watch me trying to decide which glasses to put on to look in the mirror, my reading glasses or driving glasses. I think it is a mole but just to make sure I wanted something to touch it, so used the fly swatter. It’s in a very difficult position to see!

More of my cacti are flowering..

It’s that time of year again. News from Karsiyaka Turtle Watch ….”The 1st nest has been laid at Guzelyali, Named ‘Connie’ (KTW’s Name a Nest’) this was Sat 31/5, we also had a nest at Rosie’s Bar Lapta and we have left that caged in their safe hands. These nests will be due to hatch around 20/7.”

And some more good news from them “Thanks to Birol at DSI (Water Pipeline) we had a meeting with him last week and asked for his help, he has excelled and all fences are renewed or repaired, so turtles will stay safely on the beach, unable to wander into DSI’s compounds.”

In the afternoon I watched the Murray match. He is now in the last 8 at the French Open.

In the evening I watched “I bought a rain forest.” Very idealistic, it will be interesting to see how the series progresses.

Early morning, I parked the car at the top of the road and walked down to what used to be Mare Monte. There was rubbish all down the sides of the road. At the bottom I started along the path to Lambousa . Next to the path is a new rubbish tip along with all the flies. Great! I guess a lot of this is from the new building, shopping centre next to Merit Royal as that is the road the builders use. What a mess. I gave up and walked back up to the car and was about 100 yards away from it when out of nowhere appeared two German Shepherds and a Rottweiler! Thankfully they walked past us taking no notice at all. I never like to be faced with a pack of dogs. I don’t think I will be going down there again for a walk!

But this was a much nicer sight!
