Happy Birthday to our grandson Tariq and our nieces Julie and Wendy…all today! I sent a request for them all into Vanessa Feltz. I then heard from Radio 2 and they wanted to phone me today, to speak on air…..coward that I am, I declined! But they did mention their birthdays.

News from Karsiyaka Turlte Watch….

“Nest ‘Mia’ has hatched this morning so EXCAVATION tonight meeting at The Turtle Shack (behind Guzelyali Restaurant) 6pm. Also have a release of 44 hatchlings from another nest this morning and maybe more. Release will follow about 8-30pm.”

A big clean up day. Where does all the dog hair come from when I brush Ellie twice a day and shower her quite a bit too?

Margaretha came round in the afternoon.

In the evening obviously we went to the Turtle Shack. There is nothing quite as wonderful as seeing these little fellas coming out of the sand and making their way to the big wide world. Seeing as there are only 16 nests this year, we made sure we were there tonight.

We hadn’t had dinner and decided to eat on the way home. We went into Dolphin in Alsancak. A bit more quantity than quality, not too impressed. The chips tasted as though they had been cooked in old fat and my fish şiş, the fish was over cooked. A shame because we had hoped it was going to be better. They include the huge bread and mezes in the price.

In Herne Bay as it was Tariq’s birthday so they all went out for a meal and then walked home along the sea front. They went to a restaurant called Riggings and said it was excellent. River missed out as he was working.
