I have to say that the standard of internet connection has gone downhill. Skype is useless and I keep seeing ‘connection lost’. It is not Multimax’s fault. As far as we are concerned they have been excellent. We ask them to put our internet on just before we arrive and it is always ready. Another case of the north part of the island being controlled by Turkey and as Dominic says in NCFP it doesn’t bode well for the water supply, now coming from Turkey. This, it has to be said was one of our concerns when the man ‘at the top’ in Turkey has carried out some pretty outrageous things already. It’s a shame when we have the waterfall supply just up the road from us but that has now been cut off and we are connected to Turkish water. 

We went to Pine Bay car boot just to see if it would be worth us doing a stall there next week. No, we didn’t think so but we had a chat with our Cypriot neighbour from the village. I always spoke to him when I was dog walking, he can’t speak a word of English and I have lost a lot of my Turkish now but it was nice to see him. It looks as though charity will be getting a lot of our possessions. That’s what comes of 2 homes in 2 countries, far too much!  

For a late lunch we went to Açmenya, our favourite on a Sunday and the closest to us. The waiter seemed pleased to see us and gave a huge smile when he handed me my brandy sour. He knows how I love them and they make such good ones. I then realised why he smiled, there was a huge amount of brandy in it but it was lovely.  Mal even had seconds for dessert! This has to be the best place for a Sunday lunch especially if you have grown tired of a meze and something on a stick.

A bit of a rest in the afternoon before the onslaught of clearing the house IF this sale goes through (ye of little faith!)
