So here I am....

... at the bus stop in the middle of nowhere, a little after 5pm, waiting for the mini bus to go back to Akbuk after spending a hot and uncomfortably tedious time at the apartment this afternoon, trying to sort out the stuff that is still there. Without any boxes or crates for packing it all I'm seriously tempted to just get someone to clear the lot - it's mostly kitchen crockery and home textiles I neither need nor use and I'm tired of the weight of the worry.

Generally, it wasn't a good day, too many things to worry about, things that I don't want to dwell on here except to mention that in addition to emptying the apartment, one of my concerns is Rufus. He is not settling in at the villa - two weeks and he continues to be extremely discombobulated, unsure  - and unhappy. He's better when we're out  even though he has to be on the lead nearly all the time now - but my happy chappy isn't and I don't know what to do - except go to sleep and see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully better vibes than today
