Shopping and we bought Cyprus Today see link. We went to Ileli and they still have their Jacobs Cronat Gold coffee at 6.90tl which is at least 2tl cheaper than the other supermarkets. They are also selling Blossom Hill wine for 7.50tl, a choice of red, white or rose. I  bought some baby aubergines (1.50tl a kilo) and cooked aubergine casserole with herbs. Surprisingly Mal liked it! Having spent many years of his existence as a veggie, he does like his meat now. I think it was the roasted corriander and cumin seeds that gave it such a food flavour. If you look for it they are also doing Özde thai rice 800 grams for 2.30tl.

We arrived home to more gun fire from the hunters far too close again. It was only afterwards I read in one of the papers that the number to call for the ‘rangers’ is 140. I wonder if they would get here in time if we call them.
