The two good computers at the student internet are still down (still that is since Saturday) leaving some rather despondent queuing for the two badly performing ones remaining.
J and I stop at Top Kinesis travel agency and inquire about holiday packages, a necessity as well as a pleasure as we can only stay in Cyprus 90 consecutive days, which won't take us to our return flight to London. The only thing on offer is a week at Sharm El Sheik, but a beach holiday playing hotel is not really our scene. Could they arrange something in Crete? The girl will check. Give her a few hours and she will telephone. We wonder, not for the first time, how all the travel agencies in Cyprus manage to survive. Given a secure computer, I could probably set up the same package in less time and more cheaply, so who is using all the travel agents? There are seldom clients inside as we walk past and most of the package holidays in the windows have disappeared. But there are a great many travel agencies, unlike in London where most of them seem to have been replaced by mobile phone shops.
London - now under a foot of snow. Canadian weather but without Canadian equipment from snowplows and snow tires to aluminum shovels and warm tall boots. To say nothing of winter driving skills. But it will melt with uncanadian dispatch.
