Mal and I both had dodgy tummies! We don’t think the level of hygiene was all it should have been for our meal out last night. Mal said when he saw the cutlery incident he was thinking of walking out. I wish we had, I didn’t see it.

Mal had his Father’s Day present from me. Lou and Rhys bought him something but forgot to give it to us. I know they had because they asked me about it over two weeks ago. Never mind he can have that when he gets back! They opened the card and put it on FB!!

We had medicine to settle our stomachs and then eventually went down to Acmenya for Mal’s Father’s Day Sunday roast. I can’t believe that it is still only 25tl, less than £6 at today’s exchange rate. A starter, a roast and then help yourself to (too many) desserts, followed by help yourself coffee and brandy! I have done well so far with my meals out but I am afraid today I couldn’t resist the desserts and also just had to have a brandy sour as they make good ones down there. I also had a silent toast to Sue. She always used to blame me for introducing her to brandy sours as the first time we met her and Cy, some 14 years ago, Sue and I got very drunk and she never let me forget it….all my fault. I do miss her. It seems weird now coming to Cyprus and not meeting up with her.

I have done well, this is the first brandy sour I have had since I have been back!

 The waiters welcomed us back, we have been going here too many years!
We then went to Atakara to buy some rocket and lambs lettuce. The guy on the vegetable part was so pleased to see me and started chatting away in Turkish. I always used to practice my Turkish on him but I am a bit rusty now!
Then back home for a swim.
