Dalyan – 9th & 10th December

On Monday 9th December, Edna decided she would help me in the office today, while Norman tried to hog the blanket. After cornflakes for breakfast, it was straight in to some work while Captain Caveman went Dogging. I had a friend who was off to London in the new year so I was on hand to help her find a suitable hotel for the night. While I was doing that, I came across a gorgeous hotel at King’s Cross and St Pancras called The Great Northern Hotel and it was really nice. I made a note of it for if I ever missed a train or wanted to stay in London. It was a bit quirky and had a posh train influence.
The weather wasn’t too good but we managed to get the dogs over to Fire Opal just as it started to rain heavily. Edna really wasn’t impressed and had to be wrapped in towels.

The rain had stopped for a bit so I went back to Jamie’s leaving Captain Caveman with Norman & Edna while he messed about finding some warmer clothes. Dalyan looked pretty after the rain and I took a few photos on the way back as I sloshed in some puddles.

I nibbled on peanuts as I was hungry and then we had a late lunch of soup (obviously). The water delivery man came out and brought us a 19l refill for 70 lira (£2.05) and I decided we would switch to this company at home when Captain Caveman left in 3 weeks.
We had leftover curry for dinner as I couldn’t be bothered to cook and I carried on doing some blogging in the evening.

Tuesday 10th December was mainly spent catching up with everything on my to do list and failing. I had cornflakes for breakfast and spent some time working with a hotel owner in Phong Nha for our Just Book Villas website. Captain Caveman took the dogs for a walk in between the rain and collected loads of grapefruit from our walking friend, Debbie. I carried on grafting and was feeling optimistic but with just so much to do, it was like walking through treacle!
We had soup for lunch with the vermicelli and bread and then I made jacket potatoes for dinner with spring onion, butter, sucuk and cheese. It was not particularly Slimming World friendly but still better than I may have chosen to have the day before weigh day. I finished the week on 179 syns and hoped for a loss tomorrow as it was my last week of standing in for Carol at Fat Club. I needed to lose just 1kg (2.2lb) to hit my target but I had a feeling I wouldn’t do that tomorrow!
