We drove the Acmenya van down to their office and the girl said they don’t have any manual cars at the moment so can we hang on to their van. No problem, we aren’t going very far as there is too much to do around the house. The Syrian dust seems to have got in everywhere and a couple of things in drawers in the kitchen have gone mouldy, EVERYTHING needs cleaning including the pool but thankfully it is a nice shade of blue, which we didn’t expect but David has been putting chlorine in for us,

Then of course there is all the gardening, we can hardly get to the front door the lantana has grown so much. I topped my phone up with credit last night and this morning Mal tried to do his, only to be told that he hasn’t used it for 6 months so he will have to buy a new sim card………well, that’s a new one to us. We do tend to use Skype and my phone.

So we worked all day, I just don’t know how the dust gets in so many cupboards. Then of course we jumped in the pool. The weather here is perfect, in the 30’s and we have a nice cool gentle breeze under our terrace.

In the evening we went to Incirli in Lapta for our dinner. We haven’t been there before but the staff are really nice and friendly and the food was very good. The bonus is, it is right next to the sea so we watched the sun set one side and then the moon rising the other as it became darker. As readers may know I am very fussy about brandy sours and theirs was perfect. Well worth waiting a couple of months for! And it was 8tl. I thought they may have gone up with the lira being so weak but no.

I ordered the mixed fish kebab, I would quite happily live on fish.  It was a kebab of salmon, another swordfish and another sea bass topped with 5 King Prawns…wow, it was good. They also brought us a huge bowl of delicious Cyprus potato chips and a large bowl of salad. I couldn’t finish mine, so Mal had to help me out in spite of the fact he had a huge mixed grill! Mine was 38.5tl and Mal’s 40tl, so very good value for the amount of food. Well worth a visit and a good choice for our first night here.

I have been plagued with mosquitoes in Preston and have 2 large areas on the back of my leg where I have had bad bites. I don’t seem to get them here in Cyprus BUT I forgot about the sandflies!! Horrible things. It was almost perfect sitting under the terrace having a drink when we were home…..just the sandflies were so annoying.
