In the past I have brought out a slow cooker, bedside lamps, chandelier, king size mattress topper, 3 x 13.5 tog duvets, luxury bedding, steam mop, nutribullet, garden chairs, electric mixer, 100 DVDs, music system, iPod docks, Bluetooth speaker, frying pan, fairy lights, draught excluders, drill, exterior lanterns, church candles ..... but none of these beat my friend, who successfully brought out a full size glass shower screen for her bathroom.

This could be giving ideas to 'Basil' on disposing of the Hatton Garden Job proceeds!

Chris,if you know Basil,ask him to get in touch.............id love to fill my boots (and suitcase) with some of the goodies from the heist............but the only question that is worrying me is ............How many years in the clink do you get these days for handling stolen property ??

It obviously depends on your age, if you plead guilty & say 'thank you' nicely to the judge..........😈.

Depends on whether your a voter, Banker/businessman, or politician.

In the latter case, time sentenced depends on the party affiliation compared to who is in Government.

If you're a EU politician, they also promote you.

Cynical? Moi?

So my Kalkan prep continues and my items are multiplying in their plastic box. Avon SSS (no idea why I persevere with this but BH likes it..), a couple of eBay bargains, some Turkish lira - seemed like a good rate, so why not? a bag wishlist (sorry!) and a new pair of blingy sandals given that my old favourites gave up the ghost last year.
Proud to say, no more beach cover-ups have joined the stash...so far

Oh a Kalkan holiday wouldn’t be the same without SSS it is one of those memorable Kalkan aromas

A mere 2 months today...I want that time to fly fly fly

So much stuff in the box, I need to buy another. BH keeps looking for his things in the stash....erm

. I point to the solitary suntan lotion, his toiletries and the first aid items with a vague "there" statement. This is usually followed by a "what do you need...?" kind of question which is always replied to with "nothing really..." There you go then.
Added in the last few days, some dresses - I'm trying to broaden my colour palette - some cheap flip flops (wear them out, leave them behind) and another book.
Roll on June

Good idea on the plastic box ! 5 weeks to go!! Our first visit! Wonder which restaurant we should visit first?! We have a teen!

Stoner - take your pick!

it's not a helpful answer, but just about everyone will have a different favourite.

This could be because of their own favourite dishes, having got to know the owners/staff, how far it is to walk (or how many stairs!), or even how much people-watching you choose to do;

As for the teen, well it's a long while since i was that age, but I suspect that choosing for them will be a nightmare on a day-to-day basis (whether they want to be family oriented or have the buzz of a nearby bar, etc.);

The there's the view. Of course, if you want the bay and islands in front of you, and you eat early enough, then that's achievable with some of the rooftop places, but, then again, once it gets dark, you'll be down to the lights around the village.

Not a straightforward answer I'm afraid, but then it was never going to be, as you'll find out.

[ps. I'm not recommending, but I suspect that Alternatif, in it's new location, may fit the specification - but the other regulars may well have other suggestions!)
