Dalyan – 22nd & 23rd June

I had booked Sonuç, from Dalyan Transfers, for Captain Caveman’s ride to Dalaman airport on Sunday 22nd June at 4am. I walked Captain Caveman out to the gate and we said our goodbyes while I was still in my pyjamas. I love to use Sonuç as he’s so reliable, charges just £30 and is an all round good bloke. We had also decided that I would be going back to the UK to see Captain Caveman and escape some of the intense heat in just under 3 weeks time, so it wasn’t too sad a goodbye. Captain Caveman’s flight this morning, was with Sun Express at 6.45am and he would be landing back in to Manchester before 9.30am. He ended up with a row to himself which is a nice treat. I went back to bed and tried to sleep a bit but ended up tracking the flight which left at 7am, then I fell asleep.
For lunch, I’d missed breakfast, I ate the remaining sweet and sour chicken from last night at Lukka. I caught up on a few messages and emails before going back to bed as I was tired. I checked the weather forecast and it was showing a sunny week ahead.

Gratitude List
1. Knowing I wouldn’t have to wait long to see Captain Caveman again
2. Leftover food for lunch
3. A zero spend day, to get back on track!

I didn’t bother with breakfast on Monday 23rd June as I was too busy getting on with all the jobs I needed to do. I also didn’t leave the house for the 2nd day since Captain Caveman left as I needed to get back on track. Not only with healthier eating and less spending but also working more on both Resort Experts and getting my book sold and the next ones finished. There just weren’t enough hours in the day but I was determined to build my customer base in readiness for the next books that were due to follow. I finally ate lunch which was more like a breakfast and really enjoyed it with a cup of Yorkshire tea. I worked on several quotes for friends and also had a call with my colleagues in Majorca and a Italy to share some ideas. At 3pm I was on a Q & A call with Claire Clarke who I’m working on a travel planner with. At 4pm I attended the last session of a Visibility session with Lisa Johnson who I was also learning lots from. I finished work at 5pm, tired, and warmed up a meal I’d taken out of the freezer; a chicken dinner with potatoes, carrots and red cabbage which I put a bit of gravy on. By 8.30pm I had lit my new Maizie Moo citronella candle and was ready for bed. I waited for Captain Caveman to call me and he told me all about his day. He was glad to be back in London and had put himself down for night shifts at the weekend because they were so short staffed.
