Cat in a hat, Dog in a Sat

Yesterday we woke and headed for the beach front with Stitch we took him for a lovely walk along the front and he did a bit of socialising with firstly a Yorkie which I have to say was quite nice and not yakkie, secondly with a pointer who although rather large again was quite nice, then we all stopped for something to drink and the humans for something to eat, Stitch sat under the table quite the thing until some snotty looking bitch arrived and ruined his zen moment, she was quite the hoity toity bitch and preceded to bark at Stitch who really didn't want anything to do with her, neither would I having seen her drink and slaver down her beard, yes she had a beard and now it was dripping.

We left the restaurant and heading home to the sun loungers and had a while sunning ourselves not that I'm complaining, it has been a while since we lay in the sun and everyone loves to feel the rays warming their bodies no matter who they are. That done we took Stitch for another walk around the village up and down the hills, on the route home Stitch started to limp, my beloved decided it was because he was tired I knew better and on further investigation I found a rather nasty looking thorn sticking out of his front paw, mummy removed the nasty thorn and there was no more limping.

Our friends arrived early evening for a quick cuppa before heading home to Kolossi as they had been in Pyrgos the next village visiting family, just before they arrived we discovered that the granny flat downstairs had somehow locked itself from the inside, unfortunately the cushions for the outside furniture were in there so looks like a locksmith will be required.

Our evening was spent watching the computer through the TV as still not having Cyta TV connected we are having to watch our own programmes we have stored, luckily we have many.  

Stitch had a bath in the kitchen sink which he only just fits into and now he smells lush again, not that he was too bad before, but he definitely had that dog smell going on.

Today we woke and let Stitch out before taking him for a quick walk up the hill. The Bees are not happy with my beloved, having found a nest and blocking their entrance only to find the second hole they could get into, they are buzzing around the garden wall as expanding foam can be quite useful in the right hands they are now trying to find their way in, so far they have found their way into the pump house, personally I think we need a flame thrower but my beloved thinks that is cruel.....

We had another while on the sun beds before heading into Limassol one to take the keys for the old house to the office and two to take Stitch to the Happy Valley kennels, oh I feel quite sad to be taking him there, especially as he will be getting loads of injections, micro chips and all sorts in preparation for him becoming an international jet setter.  Marianna assured me he would be fine and we said goodbye but not before asking that on the paperwork they must write that Stitch is a guard dog, this did cause some amusement especially when I lifted him onto the counter, but if he isn't down as a guard dog he won't get where we are going...

Licking the glass, it's thirsty work lounging around

My beloved and I celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary today and decided to eat alfresco at the beach, I chose Atherina (aparrently)followed by Mongolian pork with country potatoes and my beloved was garlic bread with Carbonara, both dishes were delicious but I do believe mine was better, the pork melted on your tongue and whatever that Mongolian was made for a really great taste.

 

Oh and no locksmith required I picked the lock, it took me ages but I wouldn't be beaten and now at least we can get back 

into the granny flat and get the nice cushions for outside.
