Mandi tells me that she loves her life there in Turkey - she even has an ''office'' only about 200 yards from her home - and it's an office I wouldn't mind having myself...........


As you can see - it must be so 'hard' having to live in a place like this - poor girl......


People are already eating their meals on the beach which is lovely - I also do that when I'm there if I can.......


As I said - lovely walk only around 200 yards from her home and she can walk under these lovely covered walkways - the vines are full of grapes too and they don't mind you picking a few for yourself....


She is taking it slowly and not letting herself get carried away by the beach and holiday atmosphere. After she's done the housework, which isn't great doing it in 37C temps [104F] she sometimes goes down to the beach so she can sit in the shade and it's lovely and breezy there. So her tan is being done gently. She's looking better now, she's getting more sleep at last, but still having problems staying asleep.

Nothing more to add to my life here - apart from the fact that I've now cleared away the goosegrass from the log shelters. Thank heavens - it does look a tad tidier now, it was easy pulling it away and then roll up the grass into balls.

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.
