The day I took a tumble.

My mother in law turned up this morning with Zeki who had stayed the night with her last night. She came with stuff for breakfast and promptly starting to prepare it. When she's in a good mood phase, like she is at the moment, she really is great.
We all spent the afternoon together at the beach, along with mum in law's ( babanne- Turkish for father's mother) friend who brought with her fresh yaprak dolma ( stuffed vine leaves) that she had made after collecting the leaves from our garden. Ali loved them and ate loads, which made the ladies very happy!
The day had all gone very well until I tried to climb over a gate, providing a short cut into our garden. It is at the top of about 8 steps. I lost my balance and rather inelegantly landed on the floor, by the side of the steps, my fall having been broken by a rather uncomfortable bush! I escaped with a few scratches and a good excuse to watch an episode of eastenders before I cooked dinner. What a Wally.
