Mal and I went out early with Rosie and along the new ‘river’ and decided to explore a little more to see what damage the floods had done. I think we went just a bit too far when I ended up sinking in mud up to my knees. I have to say I panicked and Mal laughed and then he had to yank me out, not easy as I was still sinking! AND no, I wouldn’t let him have the camera!
We bought the Midweek edition of Cyprus Today and the headline was “Who’s to Blame?” They say the authorities have allowed properties to be built in riverbeds and flood plains. President Talat said ‘greed’ was to blame. I found the Muhtar of Karaoglanoglu’s comment at the end of the article interesting “You can’t even fence your garden without permission. I don’t understand how these people get permission to build in riverbeds”.
Quite true, I recall sheds being roped off and all sorts of minor “rules” but the important ones???!
