News from Karsiyaka Turtle Watch today, for anyone in north Cyprus who wants to see these little miracles….

“Wednesday 20 July : We’ll be releasing a number of hatchlings tonight at Guzelyali. Please meet at The Turtle Shack at 7.45 to release at dusk.
Photos very welcome but please remember, no FLASH as it can damage their eyes!” 

We were out walking the dogs by 6am to make sure it wasn’t too hot for them. All the cabbages have been planted in one of the fields, elsewhere there is a lot of harvesting going on.

I then went into Canterbury shopping and Mal waited in for the man from Southern Water. We are paying a ridiculous amount for our water bill and seeing as we are often away and there are only two of us, we have asked to them to install a meter. This “argument” has been ongoing for months. No they can’t put one here for this property. The house is obviously extremely old and they say we have a joint supply with next door and every other excuse they can think of. We have since spoken to the man who used to own this house. He agrees there is no joint supply and showed us where the stopcock was on the road (we already knew that ) and then showed us where the water comes into the house. Mal called the water people again. “No, we have been out to your house 3 times and it can’t be done.” This time Mal asked that it be put it in writing so that he can take it to his solicitor to take to court. Oh, are we available Wednesday 20th, he will be round just to check again!!! Sure enough he called while I was out. Mal saw him and oh yes, they can put a meter in!! What is wrong with these people?!

On a more positive note with my online passport application , they have approved the photo Mal took, they have received my old passport and all systems go. How easy was that, the whole thing done online, only the old passport to be  returned, and then they cancel and return to you.

Poor Roddy is scratching away again today so I am going to have to bath him again tomorrow.

A much later walk in the evening when it had cooled down a bit. We have a portable air con and so have been using that in the house.
