countdown

By the end of today the pool surround is finished and so are other aspects of the building work.  Sue came mid afternoon to collect Rufus who is staying with her, as he does each summer while I am in Istanbul.  This was an event not without its drama as Sue cut her toe on my newly tiled patio when her sandal got caught on the edge.  I can't figure out quite how as the surface is neither rough nor sharp - but we both felt bad about it :(.  Once cleaned and bandaged, she took Rufus to her home  and five dogs, leaving me to get through an evening half watching some TV while packing and doing all those things you have to do before travelling.  I'm on the 11am flight from Bodrum in the morning. 

Today's view was taken from the balcony at 19.45.
