The littel shop said they will have alcohol and tobacco by next week. There is a new patisserie on the Oludeniz road - go to cow and go right, just up there. Called Oz Izmir - have had a coffee there and very nice. Always busy, have been told the cakes etc are good. Pool is in a horrid state at the moment. We are smothered in a yellow pollen all over the place - getting everywhere, even with all the windows closed!
Valleyboy - you had a painter (or some kind of work man) n on Weds or Thurs. But the upstairs A/C has been left on! You may want to ask someone from Mahzara to go in and switch it off! Just had an electric bill (a tiny bit of paper sticking out of the electric box) - for me for 1 month: 10.500 TL! That kind of price I can happily live with!
If anyone would like me get any provisions ready for when you arrive just let me know - I think you all have my email! Looking forward to seeing everyone.
