We were up early again and the electrician was here at 7.30 to replace the extractor fan in the downstairs WC. These jobs should have all been finished by now….typical tradesmen it seems in the Thanet area, they have so much work they often just don’t turn up! I took Ellie over the field to play ball. She was joined by a Springer Spaniel and they chased around and jumped all over each other. I brought Ellie back covered in mud!

I then went on to the Marks and Spencer site for their “Gifting Weekend” with loads of things half price. They have some really good things and I bought quite a lot! Now, that is the way to shop!

In the afternoon I went over to meet Lou and we went to the little ones school to watch Josie’s Foundation Stage Class Nativity. They were so good seeing as they have only been at the school a term. It always brings a tear to my eye. This is something I have missed out on over the years in Cyprus.

Later we went into the town for the turning on of the lights. They had a stage with a comedian, singer and clown and loads of fake snow but the “star turn” was Elsa from “Frozen” who turned the lights on. We did get a little bit cold standing around for 2 hours waiting for the lights to come on as they said “between 4 and 7”!

I, as many others must be, am astounded that after all these years the Kulaksiz 5 case has had a complete turnaround. The judge found the mortgages fraudulent. We have all known that for years and at last there is a jdge that will say so. Kulaksiz update. Maybe one day Pauline will even have her laptop returned by the Police!

Here is a full account of Judge Talat’s ruling.
