Villa in Cyprus for sale

We were up early again to avoid the heat. On the way to the fields we saw this cat who attacks dogs! It looks so innocent just sitting there on the post.

2016-07-21 06-26-36 - 0001We worked on the front garden in the afternoon. Poor Roddy was still scratching and so we have made an appointment at his vets. They can’t see him until tomorrow afternoon.

In the evening we went to have dinner at a new restaurant in Ramsgate , The Waterfront. We had a walk along the seafront first. There used to be Pleasureama which burnt down in 1998 and it has been left ever since then. The owner wanted to build houses, the authorities said no. In 2001 it was compulsory purchased and it seems they have been trying to get permission to build there ever since. The latest we have heard is 105 flats and a Wetherspoons. Meanwhile there is just boarding around the site but to brighten it up, a lot of paintings.

As usual, I don’t like paying full price if I can get things cheaper and this was a Groupon deal at the Waterfront. It was £22 for a two course meal and we had a 20% off voucher for that!! I really can’t believe how good it was. Our meals were perfect and the chef even came out to talk to us and ask how we enjoyed it. He said he didn’t like having his picture taken! I had roasted sea bass, I have never had it roasted before. Mal had a cheese board at the end which had so much cheese on it! He was very happy as he tends to judge places by their cheese board(!) They also had one of his favourite beers Ghost Ship on tap. I really shouldn’t mention that he didn’t consume much of the first pint as he managed to move his menu and knock it all over the tablecloth! We also chatted to a really nice couple at the next table so it was a really nice evening. Mal told them not to order the cheese board as they could have half of his. Ha ha. Unusually for Mal he couldn’t finish it all, so Ellie and Roddy benefited from that when we arrived home. I always have a couple of zip lock bags in my handbag!
