This morning I saw a photo of my nieces son who was off to his school prom last night . He is ELEVEN! Wow, that is another expense for parents if this is happening across the UK!

My other niece has just returned from a holiday in Menorca, having taken her three children out of school. She didn’t get fined, so it seems it is up to the Head of each individual school. What sort of stupid idea is this that some have been fined and taken to court and others aren’t?

Our morning walk where we saw David and Jekka again and then to the shops to buy Cyprus Today.

It was so humid during the day, 71% but it started getting a little fresher in the evening and so Mal and I decided to go to Charcos for dinner. I used to love going there when it was in Alsancak but hadn’t been since they moved to Lapta, possibly because we weren’t sure where it was. Anyway, we found it OK . Christina was as charming as ever. I just love her paintings and in fact Mal bought me one years ago that is hanging in our living room. The resataurant really is a little piece of Cyprus, how we remember many places being here, before the Gloria Jeans, Cacao, Burger King etc.

You just choose a main course and that is what you pay for, the starter, desert, coffee and brandy is all included in the price. I asked for the lamb kebab but Christina told me the lamb wasn’t so good this week but the lamb chops were and so that is what I ordered and Mal had the mixed kebab.   Totally delicious, the whole meal and Christina giving us a break between each course. Perfect!
