30th Oct 2010

It was still spitting with rain when Mal and I got up, so decided to take Rosie straight out.  A bad move, as we were walking the rain became heavier and heavier until the three of us were soaked. Then after about half an hour being home the rain stopped and the sun came out for the rest of the day. At least the repair to the log burner wall following last years floods, seems to have held up against the rain.

We bought Cyprus Today see link.  I was very sad to see the lack of attendance for the Breast Cancer charity brunch. Maybe they need a few ex pats to help them out, if only ex pats were allowed to be on committees now……we are not on new committees. What a waste when I know quite a few people who would help them out. We have done it all before with excellent results!

I also read Mal’s report of Conor O’Dwyer in the South. Excellent publicity both sides of the border then! see link

We did some of the gardening, can’t wait until the oranges are ready. I cut off loads of ‘babies’ from plants, which will be redistributed.

Later we watched the football, a sad result again for Hammers, if only they could have lasted out another 5 minutes. Next the Man U v Spurs game. What a farce Nani’s goal was when he had obviously hand balled. It makes a bit of a mockery of football.
