Dalyan – 8th February

It was so cold when I got up on Saturday 8th February that I decided to wait until it got warmer to go to the market. I did more with the Amazon KDP and reformatted my book document, using the training notes on Amazon which were about as clear as mud. I had tea and toast for breakfast, more veg soup with pasta for lunch and made a shopping list.
At the market, the new stalls made it look so much bigger than before but it also meant that it was completely shaded and so cold. It would be ideal for shade from the sun in the summer months! Here’s what I bought with the prices in lira:

Stall 1
Potatoes 24.00 lira (55p)

Stall 2
Carrots, Leeks, Spring Onions, Bananas & Courgettes
Total 180.00 lira (£4.09)

Stall 3
1 Big Cabbage 70.00 lira (£1.59)

Stall 4
Tomatoes 17.00 lira (39p)

Stall 5
Mushrooms & Apples 65.00 lira (£1.48)

Total spent at the market 356 lira (£8.09)

I tried my best to get a smaller cabbage but the stall holder insisted I take the biggest one, as they were all the same price.

On the way back through the garden at home, I picked a load more oranges from the tree and took 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary from the plant. I worked more in the afternoon and took a break for a couple of oranges and an apple, as I felt like I needed some fruit. Captain Caveman unexpectedly called me from inside a cave and it gave me a bit of a shock. He was in the Peak District and had gone for a walk so gave me a call to show off that he was in a cave and I suggested he learn the monologue from ‘The League of Gentlemen’ for the best cave phone call.
I made a Sunday dinner on a Saturday with lots of leftovers for the fridge and freezer. There was still a drop of wine left so I polished that off, too. I had a fairly early night as it was cold and I had to get up for the Sunday Walk tomorrow.
