Dalyan – 21st November

Bumming on Thursday 21st November was cancelled due to the awful rain. Captain Caveman didn’t have a morning activity so it was a quiet day at home. Jamie came over to collect Norman and Edna and he had to put the dog bed in a bin liner to keep it dry just going to the car. Captain Caveman and I reassured Jamie that Norman and Edna had been more than happy at our place so they would be fine to stay with us while he went on his next holiday in a few day’s time. The rain kept coming as we warmed up last night’s leftovers for lunch. I made a meal plan and looked at our budget for the rest of the month and things were very tight. It didn’t stop me from looking up holidays that I would like to go on, though! I worked, I blogged, I made a list of all what we needed to pay for between now and the end of the year – depressing, but necessary. It was now over 3 months since I had a wage coming in and almost 2 months since Captain Caveman had got paid. Luckily, we don’t celebrate Christmas but if we did, it would certainly have been cancelled. I felt lucky to be in Turkey where we didn’t need to celebrate the festivities as I know most people in the UK do.
When the rain got even heavier, I went upstairs to check the bathroom and found we had some very small leaks in both bathrooms and a damp patch in the spare room. I mopped up and cleaned the floors then put dry towels down to catch any more leaks. I put the winter quilt on our bed and did some more cleaning in our bedroom.
Captain Caveman made pasta for dinner and we had a dog-walk free evening, even though we were both missing the dogs already.
