I had an awful night, Rosie waking me three times trying to be sick. 2.30, 4.00 and again at 5.00 which meant each time I heard her I had to jump out of bed and let her outside. I gave her worming tablets two days ago but hardly think that can be the problem. In the end I got up at 7 and took her for a short walk. She didn’t want any breakfast and for anyone who knows her, she lives for food!
I then went shopping and bought Cyprus Today see link. Amazingly there was more news in it than usual but as I felt so tired and had a headache, I just put in the main articles, word for word the Kulaksiz case. I have to say that I was totally gobsmacked when I read about Geoff and Mary Day see link. Their builder did not turn up for the court case and then makes an appeal. I wonder in what other civilised country this would be allowed. Mary was ill first and now Geoff is ill. I am guessing this is what their course of action is in so many cases, let’s keep dragging it out until we make them so ill (with the stress) and then they will just give up. Scandalous. These are peoples lives we are talking about, mostly pensioners who came here for a quiet retirement, not to have their life savings stolen from them, not to spend their days in court cases that may have an award at the end of it, money of which is not paid etc etc. In Geoffs case to have his passport taken away for more than two years meaning he was unable to leave the country. Added to this Pauline had her laptop confiscated for trying to report on thier case. No, her laptop has not been returned to her. WHY not?!
The TRNC is becoming less and less appealing. In fact I noticed yesterday David and Kenny have a “For Sale” board up on their house. I am beginning to think that I should tell them if purchasers don’t want their house, then send them up to ours!
Similar things are going on in the South. The whole of Cyprus should have a health warning.
