18th January 2010

It was cloudy when Rosie and I went for a walk and the fact we stopped to chat to Res on the way, meant we got caught out in the rain and got wet.  I did spot my first orchid while I was in the mountains.

I don’t know why I decided today but I went into Girne for some things I needed. Half way there and I was already regretting my decision. The rain was torrential and where there used to be a main road, it was now just a mass of lakes and rivers, depending on the angle of the road! It was horrendous. I did see several gangs of yellow pvc coated workmen trying to unblock drains in the middle of roads or something like that.  Without success I may add.

I did manage to get there and back and still the rain was just pouring down and the river was running down the side of our land yet again. By the time I arrived home water was pouring down the chimney again and I had to shut the shutters as a serious amount of water was collecting between the shutters and the windows.  It just rained and rained and rained. No let up all day long and all evening too. I did try and take Rosie for her evening walk but she was not impressed and spent the rest of the evening in front of the log burner!

Everyone will be waiting for the decision on the Orams case tomorrow………………………
