Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I am channeling the spirit of George Peppard.
Up early, dog walked, breakfasted.
Down the decheterie with a trailerful, back to the domestic recycling for the household waste.
Over to the local sand/gravel yard for some crushed slate, in and out like flint (dyswidt), home and parked by 11.30.
I hear the pool calling this pm!

Woke up at 12pm, then 3am, courtesy of the one-year old puppy we're dog sitting for the week having major yappy, whiney, howling episodes. Crate trained my arse.
Cure for her separation anxiety was Muz sleeping downstairs for the rest of the night with her. So we've both had about five broken hours of sleep and are zombies.
New plan required for tonight - either crate or bed upstairs in our room I think. It's that or she goes in the workshop where we can't hear her, but that seems mean.
Meanwhile our dog is most non-plussed about her presence, and it's sulking outside in the rain while she sleeps in here

Re: What have you done today thread?
Stuck my finger up my dog's bum.
Gloved, I hasten to add.
She's been doing more arse licking the last few days than the BAFTA awards. Checked her glands to see if they felt swollen and in need of expressing (if you don't know, Google it and it'll put you off dog ownership for life), but nothing untoward.
Doesn't look sore or owt, but as I type this she's giving her chuffer a good ol' licking.
Where's the resident vets when you need 'em?

He takes a look at the menu and it reads as follows:
Hamburger - 2.99
Cheeseburger - 3.99
Chicken Sandwich - 4.99
Hand Jobs - 19.99
The crusty old biker waves the bartender down, and up walks this tall, busty, beautiful redhead in her mid-twenties. She smiles at the biker coyly, and he asks in a quiet voice "Are you the one who gives the hand jobs?"
The bartender blushes slightly and says "Yes, I am" with a sexy little smile.
The biker grins and says "Well wash your hands, because I want a cheeseburger

Drove up to Priene, a Greco-Roman site near Söke which is pretty good, very hot though but lots of trees providing much needed shade.
Now sitting with a beer at Kapıkırı, overlooking Bafa Lake. Supposed to be a lovely sunset from here.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I've done a stint with the INR. (International Newt Rescue). Some time ago I pulled a rather sickly looking plant out of the pond and put it in a tub full of water on the patio to see if it perked up. It must have had newt eggs on it 'cos the next thing I know there's newtlets scooting about. I didn't think the food supply would be great so today I decanted them back into the pond.
I may have signed their death warrant because I disturbed Bismark (the Great Crested, I thought he'd gone back to the garden) and they'll quite happily predate other types of newtlets.
Oh well, nature in the raw I suppose. Some of them may be a bit big for a snack.

Re: What have you done today thread?
The only white bits we’ve seen in the sky today. It’s been *hot* even since the morning cycle ride for croissants ended up very sweaty.
Not complaining: Pool, lie down. Pool, lie down etc, etc.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Nerja is a Lovely place but the beach is about a mile away down a very steep hill. Going down was one thing but coming up rnearly killed us! A man even lent out of his balcony and asked if we were okay and did we need water! Will go to the old town tomorrow where we can get buses and Ubers back to the hotel!

I've gone for the tiramisu as I had biancaneve last time!
The camponata was exquisite by the way!
The risotto was bello!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Was highly amused by the pup *pooling* a cat (as opposed to the cat being treed) Cat was next to the pool, dog startled the cat which promptly launched itself almost straight up about 3 feet, but owing to launch trajectory came down in the pool.
Cat managed to drag itself out of the pool, ran across the yard & attempted to jump onto the garden wall, but misjudged that launch too & landed in the middle of the bush next to the wall.
