Mal launched his second edition of North Cyprus Free Press (www.northcyprusfreepress.com), with an interesting letter from Robin about his builder, goodness the money he has had to spend.
The continuing saga of our ticket overcharge from CTA. Whilst Barclaycard added £10 to our account, the ticket amounts remain the same! We tried ringing CTA London office again and this time they could not have been more helpful and put us through to their accounts department where we were told “this is happening to a lot of people”. So, BEWARE if you are booking tickets online with them and check your statements. I was even told they would ring me back and they did, 10 minutes later when they had checked all the details. If anyone else has had similar problems please contact me and I will pass on the direct line number to the accounts department and the name of the most helpful member of CTA’s 600 staff.
In the evenings we often sit under the terrace and for the last three years we have had a lizard of a very strange colour coming out from behind one of the light fittings at night. We christened her Lizzie. Well this year we have discovered Lizzie has a friend and also there are a couple of Lizzie-ettes. They are so tiny and one had the misfortune of going along the floor in Rosie’s sight but we think she got away! We never have to clean the cobwebs or spiders away from under the terrace as they do it for us. But they only come out at night. They are also very difficult to try and take a picture of them as most of the time they are on the ceiling, the best place to stay when Rosie is around.
