Another walk in the mountains with Rosie first thing and we have just about filled our huge bin with pine cones now ready for lighting the log burner.

I had an appointment at Chicago’s Hair salon in Karaoğlanoğlu. I made the appointment for Monday as it is 20% off for the over 60’s, well, we have to have some benefits for getting older! Having been about 8 weeks ago, with Hasan the owner doing my hair and I had 20% off. Not today see link. I think that explains exactly what happened and I also linked it to Cyprus 44 forum. I am sick of being ripped off here and nowhere did it say Hasan’s hair cuts were not 20% off as others on C44 agreed with me. I wonder just how many others have fallen into the trap as I did. The only thing is that I won’t keep quiet about it!

A bit like a friend who bought a glass of wine for 10tl when his Turkish Cypriot friend was able to buy it at half the price in a bar in Girne.  I don’t have the proof of that one but with Chicago’s this is my experience so I know it is fact.

In the evening we went for drinks at Lena’s to celebrate Ingrid’s 30th birthday and we also discovered that Ingrid is now engaged! Congratulations to Ingrid and Ed. They make a very happy couple.
