Down to the beach again.  Little by little we are getting Ellie used to the sea by throwing her ball in but then she waits until it comes back into the shore! She loves digging in the sand and getting messy anyway.

We stopped at Atakara for our just baked olive bread, still on the cooling rack! And of course Cyprus Today. I have to say well done to the Turkish Army for adapting Peace Beach for handicapped people – a small article mid paper. The paper gets worse each week. People’s homes being auctioned off and they don’t even report on it. The new buyer is allegedly even asking the home owners for rent! Evidently that is not newsworthy.

They even publish a letter saying the buyers should have checked their contracts are registered at the land registry so that any mortgages put on the land will have to be registered after their contract.  Sorry Mr Letter writer isn’t that the lawyers job?

So sad to hear from Lena in the afternoon that the shepherd’s dog “Ginger” is dead. She has seen her in the ravine. The sheep are kept just at the beginning of the ravine. She doesn’t know whether it has been poisoned or knocked down by a car and just thrown into the ravine, as they do here. No comments on that one. Of course I called David and Kenny straight away, just in case. I think we all gave that poor dog biscuits as I have only ever seen the shepherd giving her and her puppies stale bread.  We will miss her as she always wagged her tail and came to see us whenever we walked past but she did have a tendency to sit in the middle of the road. Who knows what happened.

In the evening we went to The Black Olive to listen to the music played by Ed  and  Hannah. Lena and Willy were also there so we chatted to them. They live just across the road but we rarely get to chat!  Good music and good food.

Thought for the Day – “Don’t ever let anyone dull your sparkle.”
