The timing for the air show tomorrow – 6pm Solo Türk F-16 jet and then from 6.30pm the Türk Yıldızları (Turkish Stars) aerobatic team.  If you haven’t seen Solo Türk, find somewhere around the harbour to watch him, it is breathtaking. Here is a taster…

We went to Lambousa market as Jean (Crowfoot) has been painting a portrait of Ellie. She had previously painted one of Rosie. Very good she is too. She charges £40 if anyone is interested I can give you her contact details. So, we collected the portrait…….

We met up with Margaretha and had lunch at Le Chateau Lambousa, the refurbished version and very plush it is too. We sat out by the pool and had lunch together. I think the waiting staff were in training as they were quite slow, in fact last time Margaretha came she said she waited an hour. But to her credit she said she would give them a second chance.

Mal liked the omelette he ordered which came with masses of real chips. Margaretha and I both ordered chicken sis which in fact was a chicken wrap with not a sign of a bit of salad garnish! In fact we were a little disappointed for 19tl. I had 5 small pieces of chicken in my wrap. The waiting staff also forgot the condiments and bread. At least they had fresh orange (5tl) and Turkish coffee came with a glass of water (5tl) but Mal’s Efes was draught, less than a pint for 7tl. I think at the moment they are having a few teething troubles and hopefully things will improve. I do hope so as it is a beautiful hotel now.

Thought for the Day – “Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder………..” ~ Thoreau
