Broke the law by going into town on the 9 am bus (I'm only allowed out between 10 am and 2 pm), got off near the tax office and went there to pay for my residency permit then went all the way into town, got the bits photocopied for my residency application and at 11:30 had my interview. All good. Of course, the Covid restrictions can be ignored if a government department tells you to be somewhere at a particular time even if you have to break the rules to be there. Anyway, the residency thing is all done and dusted, I just have to wait for my new card to be produced and sent to me. It seems that there's a hold up in the process so it could be some time.

I did a bit of shopping as I had to wait until 14:00 for the bus home and bought the inverter that's going in the boat to run the beer fridge. I really wanted to get a full sine wave inverter but they're double the price of a modified sine wave version so I went for cheaper. it'll do.

I got home just before 3 pm and thought that it was a good time to pop down to Özner's, drop the kayak on the trolley and take it home. Let's face it, if I'm going to break the law for the government I might as well break the law for myself as well. The trouble was, on my way I met an American lad who's in Turkey on a 90 day visa as part of a year out thingy and walked along the prom with him. When we got to Özner's there were a couple of friends there drinking beer - younger than me and allowed out until 9 pm. It was of course foolish not to so I bought the American lad a drink before he went off to get the bus back to Içmeler and had one or 3 myself. Home now. The kayak is outside waiting for a bit of a clean up sometime in the next few days and I'm just going to cook dinner. I hope the Covid Cops don't get wind of my day - they've got enough ammunition already to make my life shit. This lot would give them apoplexy.

In-Laws popped round! First time thye've visited us in over a year! So we had an impromptu BBQ. It was so glorious sitting out there I went and bought a case of Stella! Daughters boyfriend and my Son came home at just after 4 and joined us for a few beers. Life felt normal again.

I picked up a bargain new aquarium today, saved a fortune. Then after getting it home I realised I need to go out tomorrow and spend twice as much again on a suitable filter.

The sun was out and I had to detour down some fast country lanes, first decent drive in over a year.

Always knew you were dodgy

Was looking for that pic i took in the bar in your village where we were all lounging on the cushions after you "invited" us to join you but cant find the sodding thing

No more crap food from April 1st, got an early start on that, found this rather splendid looking recipe for salmon with green beans, mushrooms & sweet taters. Yesterday I hit WallyWorld, Costco & Stater Bros for all the gubbins.
Today I spent about an hour or so following the recipe to the letter. Everything came out looking just like the pic that accompanied the recipe.
The sauce was made from tahini, rice vinegar, fresh ground ginger & honey.

Couldn't taste a bloody thing.

I made hot cross buns First time I've had success with them. Very happy! Think I'll have to make some more on Friday! LOL (A few people will be getting these instead of easter eggs!

Taken delivery of a food parcel. I say food parcel, it's more like 4 bin bags of out of date food blagged by my spawn in law.

Tonight we eat like [s]kings[/s] tramps.

And what we don't eat, the chickens will.

Just had a flashback to when I was banging a succession of Italian gals when I lived in London around 40 years ago. I had totally forgotten about this

They introduced me to ice cream in a croissant which in Italy would be ice cream in a warm brioche, I'll pause a second for you to imagine that........... It was nice to be doing something "normal" for this time of year.

Say what?

Asked my kid to clipper my hair. Looked pretty good.

Only a couple of hours later I went to the loo, looked in the mirror where the light is much brighter, turned my head to one side and saw the massive landing strip she'd accidentally given me.

Fily has, successfully, achieved several trims for me during the last year.

The most recent one, though, was apparently a good enough likeness to earn me a new nickname.

Accidentally? Would you like to buy some magic beans?
