Bargain – 20% off kids shoes & 10% off school uniforms  at Debenhams with code.

Good luck for today at the Olympics to Meliz , the first Turkish Cypriot to compete in the Olympic Games.

You may be interested to look for the Perseid meteor showers this weekend. I understand the best time is Sunday and with the clear skies in Cyprus and little light polution, the chances of seeing them are good.

I went out lunch time and met up with “the girls”. It was so nice to see them after all this time. We had our lunch at Kervan Terrace. There wasn’t much sea breeze down there but one of the waiters turned on a large fan next to our table. 15tl seemed a little excessive for a smallish salad but then perhaps I have got used to Uk and Istanbul dining out prices. There was a squiggle on the bill for the Turkish coffee but it looks as though we were charged 4tl!! Is it any wonder the Brit tourists are staying away? They really have no idea how to attract customers. I can remember when Turkish coffee at the end of the meal was “on the house”. In spite of the view being stunning from the restaurant, we will choose another venue our next lunch out. Anyway, good to see you Joan, Sue and Tanya.

In the evening Mal and I lay out on the sun beds in the dark watching the meteor showers….wow…amazing and better to come.

Joan, Tanya and Sue
