Dalyan – 7th & 8th July

Norman and I were awake early on Monday 7th July, both needing a pee. The temperature at that time of day was much cooler and comfortable. After tea and toast it was time to crack on with Resort Experts work for the day. I often get friend requests on Facebook from people I’ve not met and don’t know but this morning I got one from a lady called Liz. I never add people I don’t at least know, even if we haven’t met in person. We had a friend in common from Rhodes and I recognised her from posts on a group I’m in. However, when I looked at her Facebook profile, the last 3 posts were saying it was a fake/scam profile and not to share posts. I messaged the woman to ask what was going on and she seemed real and fairly normal. I still didn’t accept the friend request though.
By 9am, Norman was fast asleep and snoring away again.
At midday I attended a webinar session with Lisa Johnson where she was sharing some thoughts and knowledge which I thought might help me. It was only for 30 minutes but was useful.
Jamie and Drew arrived back a little earlier than expected, I went back to Fire Opal as I had another webinar booked in. This next one was some training with a lady called Katrina Young who was delivering a session on AI. Primarily on keeping ChatGPT in check, powerful prompts, scaling up a business and automating certain tasks using AI.
It was interesting, although most of it went above my head. I took lots of notes though.
After the training, I put some of what I’d learned in to place and it was really good. I just needed more practice and more time to do it, now.

Gratitude List
1. Norman being so easy to look after
2. Insights from Lisa Johnson
3. Learning more about AI from Katrina Young.

I didn’t get up until 8.30am on Tuesday 8th July and then I got on with writing content for my various social media pages. I am an agent for a supplier called Classic Collection and they had some great deals on for city breaks as well as summer holidays so I got involved in searching those. I’d seen a couple of city breaks that I liked the look of myself, including a 4 star mini break in Nantes, France, in August for £199 and a 3 star weekend in Krakow, Poland, in January for £125. They also had some luxury 5 Star holidays in Greece which looked fantastic. After working until 3pm and not having had any lunch, I decided to take a break and walk around the town, calling at the shops. Here’s what I bought with prices in lira;

Migros Supermarket
Green Peppers 13.99
Mentos 20.95
Haribo jellies 22.45
Biscuits 32.95
Salt & Vinegar crisps 48.95

I ate the sandwich for lunch and then continued with my to do lists until 8.30pm. I had chicken pesto pasta for dinner and then an early night.
