March On


The year is marching on at a fast pace and I feel I am lagging behind. I couldn't think what to give up for the beginning of Lent today but it is obvious that I should renounce procrastination. If I had a list of things to do, it wouldn't be getting any shorter and my list of things done (much more satisfying than the former) isn't getting any longer.  So today I have embraced action and booked my air tickets Bodrum-Istanbul-Athens-Heathrow-Istanbul-Bodrum (oh for direct flights!) for my March trip, bought my travel insurance - forsaking a single trip policy for an annual world-wide one in the hope that it may spur me to more exotic destinations, and am about to start emptying a wardrobe whose contents have had nobody to wear them for 8 months.

On a self congratulatory note, I have finished my wall hanging.


On an exciting note, our local football team, Bodrumspor who went up a league the season before last are currently at the top of the Spor Toto 3rd league and tensions are running high. It would be a great coup to be promoted to the 2nd league after only 2 seasons.


Football really isn't my thing, but holes in the ground are and a very large trench has been dug just along from the football pitch, on Temple of Mars street.  I've been peering in daily and was surprised that nothing much was appearing and then about 3 metres down this was found: 


Goal!

  1. We have always flown direct from the UK to Antalya, but that is probably not a convenient airport for you. I always buy an annual travel policy - we usually make 5 or 6 trips a year so it works out much cheaper.
    Congratulations on your wall hanging it is really lovely - do you ever wonder if you might find some hidden treasure from antiquity in your garden?

  6. Liam tossed some pancakes for Shrove Tuesday. Now what for Lent? It should be the sauce but the flesh is weak :-D

  7. B to B, I must say, I've been admiring how much you have been doing! The wall hanging's beautiful in that space which you created, your new stove, going to Hydra, before that, organizing your daughter's wedding, taking care of Jake, keeping us up to date with the goings on in Bodrum - whew! Aferin. We're a couple of slugs in comparison.
