Anyone for mixed animal?

A different flavour to my blog this time . I am feeling chilled out as I have been away on holiday for a week in Istanbul and had a great time. Have a few days leave left so I am just enjoying the extra time to sort my life out a bit and taking the opportunity to do loads of internet shopping ready to have the bathroom done. The realities of work life are not set to return until Wednesday. Bliss!

As usual, we managed to have a laugh on holiday, particularly at the expense of the hideous clothes they sell everywhere. At first you wonder who buys them, and then you see the Eastern Europeans…and then there’s their favourite word which appears to be ‘Maximum’. This might not be funny out of context, but when you hear and see it everywhere it gets quite amusing. And let’s not forget the mixed animal! I almost died laughing when I saw this label in the Islamic culture museum, and then when I realised you could get kebabs made of it… mind you, have you seen how many kebabs exist in the world? And did you know they don’t all come on sticks or wrapped in bread? It was a revelation!
