Back end of our north Aegean tour .

Rocked up for a few days at what we now see as our diamond find.

Hotel offers a spa pool, all the water jet types gadgets etc.

Lauren chose it as it might offer me benefits and it's close to an excellent proper thermal baths.

Upside was the pool in pic is gorgeous, and the hotel is excellent....but never busy when we book it....?

Most times it's just us two in the pool.
And the folks who run it makes sure we get a ground floor room by the pool to boot.

Not to everyones tastes maybe, but just relaxing under the 'waterfall' or in the spa, and resting injured muscles etc in the 'jet stream' mode, feels like a tiny bit of heaven .

Looks great, good to find a place that is not too busy and has all you need.

Good morning everyone on what looks like the middle of November here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this a.m. and apart from the wind noise, a wonderfully quiet start to the day. As I stood under the shower this morning, the last minute always on as cold as I can stand it, a tune by Ricky Valance escaping in a whispering sigh from my basal ganglia, I thought of bath nights of my childhood. Once a week, whether we needed it or not. I don’t really do baths any more. Reminds me of a sheep dip. Mrs Miggins does - we have a bath in the upstairs bathroom - she puts Epsom salts in. I shower. Art bit, a tree. Have a smashing white rabbits day. Must finish this koffy before it gets cold.

However, having Russian security at checkpoint charlie, being frisked, fear as you saw the soldiers, Brandenburg gate, the tanks, the furherbunker, the wall, the bleakness in East Berlin, not my ideal of a holiday, just a bit of an adventure, as was the American MPs, as I was being nosey around a certain area around the air base, when we visited the PX.

I remember going through checkpoint Charlie as a teenager on our way to visit relatives in Poland. It was scary and so was the drive through East Germany. It did feel like an adventure.

I'm still trying to work out how to access iPlayer and the rest. My old TV can't do it and my PC might if I could figure out the jargon around Firesticks and such, never mind how to use it once I get one. No point asking Neil - he despises TV and modern drama. The most recent theatrical thing he did was to appear in The Gondoliers at school.

That's a shame that your TV can't access iPlayer @Annb
 
9.5 at 04.30 today. It's this darned cold thats's doing it.

I have my appointment for flu and Covid jabs tomorrow afternoon and I'm wondering if I should just try to cancel it because of the cold. I would phone and ask but there's no phone number this time just a website to go to to cancel or change an appointment. Might try to get through via the hospital switchboard.

Trying a different way of supporting my left hand today - it's swollen too much to enable me to get the glove on so I have some of that self-adhesive elastic bandage wrapped around it, putting pressure on where it is really needed. We'll see if that helps.

I have tiny figs on my tree, but one of them unexpectedly had a growth spurt. It was delicious. So don't give up hope.

4.8 this morning. I'm sure I'll get that too high with an ill advised breakfast.

A beautiful place @Biker
I have several black and white paper photographs I took of this place when I was a child more than well over half a century ago...

Much the same here too. Although this morning the weather is saying no intention of rain, there is even a little weak sunshine through the clouds. I am not decieved, was like this yesterday and both I and the garden endured hours of rain. I was trying to rake up some of the clumps of cuttings. Left lying they would kill the grass underneath them. After two full wheelbarrows and a thorough soaking had to abandon the task. Although a brief spell of dry weather in the evening tempted me to have another go. Later wished I hadn't bothered as shoulders are complaining a bit.

Fbg at 6 AM according to Libre sensor 3.0 now at 7.10 AM 4.7
I asked Alexa if it’s ever going to stop raining the answer I got was “right now it doesn’t feel like it ever will” I think I have a depressed AI on my hands.
