Dalyan – 5th December

Captain Caveman had got in to a routine of sorting the dogs out first thing and bringing me a cup of tea in bed and maybe even a dog. He did this on Thursday 5th December before it had even got light outside. Norman loved to go back to bobos but Edna preferred to stay downstairs with Captain Caveman as she had discovered that he had a higher chance of dropping tasty scraps on the kitchen floor. While Captain Caveman went Bumming and I had cornflakes for breakfast, Edna napped in the blanket that wasn’t for dogs and refused to share it with Norman – he made do with the dog towel. At tea break the dogs got closer to me for a warm as the tilers did the bit nearest to the dog bed. Captain Caveman went straight from Bumming to Bridge, he and Sezgin were playing in Ortaca. I had leftover chicken, green beans and potatoes for lunch and even Edna couldn’t believe it wasn’t soup! I gave her a green bean and she loved it, Norman wasn’t so bothered.

Captain Caveman returned, having called at Migros where he bought soft drink and bread for 55 lira (£1.25) and then, after I finished work, I made Yorkshire puddings in Jamie’s oven but they weren’t brilliant. Norman tried his hardest not to fall asleep while we ate our roast chicken dinner as he wanted to help us eat it. I didn’t let either dog as it was unfair with Edna being on a diet. Neither dog was impressed, I’m sure this would be added to their complaint list.
After I had done the washing up and put my laptop away I was hoping for a bit of TV but Captain Caveman and both dogs were snoring away. Instead, I did some more training and social media posts for work while they all slept under the blanket.
