Blue sky, blue sea, and the intoxicating scent of jasmine in the air. The blossoms are just beginning and remind us of when we were in lockdown in July of 2020 and the lovely woman across the road used to bring us little circlets of jasmine that she had threaded. An aroma that filled the whole house.
Cats point out unhappily that we are out of cat food. And in fact we could do with bread, yoghurt and a couple of other things anyway, so take the hint and trek down to the supermarket for a top up. Arrive just in time to nab the last two loaves of still warm sesame flatbread.
Sit on the stone wall outside and tear a bit off the bread to taste before it cools completely. Start back up the hill and hear a car horn. It’s S, saying that if we’re free now Doğan’s cousin will show us a nearby flat that the family are selling.
Actually there are two, not quite finished and in a new building. The larger one is really attractive, floor to ceiling windows taking up the whole walls of open plan kitchen/sitting room and larger bedroom with spectacular views of sea and mountains respectively. Also a second bedroom and an enormous deck. Not quite enough to make us take out a cheque book but interesting to get a look at a new flat in the making, and somebody is going to be very happy there.
