Here was my view this morning…..
And here are two characters maybe pleased to see us!! (I know I know they couldn’t care
less but I’m pretending!)
Sado the villa sparrow checking all’s clear for his missis! (Can you see her little eye peeking out?)
Siyah the cat in ecstasy at our arrival!
Our villa is over on the side bar if you wanted to have a look!
So glad to be on holiday!
That’s All!
See Ya xx
More holiday snaps!!
But with a slight difference and if you saw yesterday’s blog, you would know that the topic today is concerning saucy Stinkbugs…..
I also happen to think that these Stinkbugs (Shieldbugs aka Eurydema Ornata!) are totally carefree….they certainly didn’t seem to mind a camera hovering above them!
Look…
Yes, they’re mating!!
And they don’t care who knows it!
I just think they are stunning and very beautiful!
Now, can you guess who this is? I have zoomed right in so it makes it a little more difficult for you!
Anyway….go on….have a guess!
That’s All!

I have followed this little chap around the pool a lot today!
He lifted his bottom end (I know it’s his abdomen) and was shocked by how short he looked In the shadow!
“Damn!” exclaimed Dharma Dragonfly as he discovered that however high he put his bottom end, he couldn’t make himself look long again!
Having shown off his wings in the sunlight, Dharma decided to pose on a piece of dried grass in front of a different background! I quite like it!
That’s All!

I’m on holiday in Turkey, at the villa that’s on the side of my blog page entitled ‘Fancy a Holiday”. It’s beautiful!
We have a pomegranate tree and it is full of not quite ripe pomegranates. Sadly they’re not ready til September or October.
That’s All!
See Ya xx
What a hard task this has been!
It had been another hot day on our Turkish holiday, approximately 45 degrees, and travelling buddy and I had had a hard morning by the pool, sunbathing, reading, swimming….you get the picture. We then had a beer (turkish beer called Efes-very nice) and continued holidaying vigourously. A little later we decided that it was time to become recumbent out of the sun. So we picked up our books, kindle and iPad and retreated to the living room…..
I positioned myself on the settee by the wall whilst travelling buddy started moving cushions on the other settee for ultimate comfort. Suddenly she moved faster than I have ever seen her move before, clutching her arms around herself and hyper-ventilating! Whilst rearranging the cushions, she had picked one up and underneath it was this…….
Now obviously this is not the photo of the incident…the floors of the villa are tiles not mud! I didn’t manage to get a photo at the time but wanted you to be able to see the great big blighter!
Anyway, on with the story. This camel spider had been sitting quietly, minding his own business underneath one of the aforementioned cushions being plumped for comfort before being rudely disturbed. But once exposed, it remained quite still and was very accommodating as I placed a large jar over it. I can honestly say I have never seen any spider like it. It was gross yet fascinating. It had 8 legs and then those two antennae positioned leg lookalikes flailing in the air. It was about 15cm long. But that beak….oh it was so horrible. I have managed to find another photo but a little closer up….
What can I say? If you were to google camel spiders then you could see videos of them too….if you wanted!
So, camel spider under the cushion got unceremoniously thrown over the garden wall so that travelling buddy and I could get on with the business of relaxation and more beer drinking to calm our nerves.
That’s all for now, but I might find another creepy crawly story for another day!!
