My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Oh no, aka Baklava for Dinner

So, last night the hotel owner offered to take me on a driving tour of the city. Today, given the onset of light rain, I decided to say yes. Even given qualms that he fancies me. It quickly became apparent that he was thinking of it as some sort of date. As soon as I said yes, he said something to the effect that the "heavens were helping him".

Uh oh.

It was a nice tour. We stopped for tea at a lovely spot near/in Efes (Epheseus) and he took me to a baklava cafe on the way back. I had to try *all* the baklavas, which was about six. I don't think I will be able to eat anything for hours. And now I have a sugar high...

Then on the drive back, he offered to take me to a lookout spot that has a lovely view of the city. I would love to go. However, seeing as how he described it as a romantic view of the city at night, I declined.

He's lovely to chat to, but I am not at all interested. Especially since my daydreams are revolving around the night clerk...

What kind of mess have I gotten myself in to???

Now, time to sneak of to watch the European Football Championship match.

Hopefully alone!
