We woke to rain again! Mal had some preparation to do online for his teaching teahers, so took the opportunity. Nice to work from under the terrace looking at the Med! I have always been thankful that we had a covered terrace built, so we can sit outside in the rain! It rained quite heavily and then sun came out briefly and then it rained again and this was how it continued. This was the temperature when we left the house at midday!

We went for a drive to the other side of Girne and went into Supreme supermarket. They have everything you could ever wish for in there, including pork and Mal and I were remembering when we first came over here in 2002 and you were lucky to find anything like Marmite/sausages. In those days we just ate the local food.  Things have certainly changed. We bought some fruit, including strawberries and then went next door to The Kitchen, Çatalköy for lunch, in the hope that it was as good as the last time we visited. Yes, it was!

I ordered the fish kebab (36tl) and Mal had the Firin Kebab  (42tl). They were  both really good, as good as we both remember on our last visit. There was torrential rain while we were eating so the waiters were running round putting the heaters on! The only niggles we had was that they had no Efes and also the guy sitting behind Mal was chain smoking even though it is banned in restaurants.

The weather was much the same all day. We even managed a walk in the mountains in between downpours.It was very strange having a dogless walk and then one found us! The orchids are out but I couldn’t find a bee orchid. I think they show a bit later.

Later we watched the Hammers game.
