We're right across from the main post office which is extremely busy as I go in. Two women seated at a table furiously addressing christmas cards, chinese girls sending a huge parcel home to china, and the usual business at the wickets. Busy at the student internet as well. The computers have been upgraded and not yet ruined by the users - though one of the four isn't running. My half hour is enough to read the email and get a bit of the blog online. I also take a quick look at the cyprus Weekly, as we're quite behind in Cypriot news. The "Cyprus problem" seems, like the poor, to be always with us. There is startling news though. The body of former president Papadopoulis has been stolen by modern day grave robbers and the police forced to let their 3 suspects go as all had alibis. Only in cyprus.

Text from Jenny saying that London is snowy and we had left just in time. In fact the radio has cited snowfalls of up to 8 inches in the southeast part of England. she also says that tesco has reissued Doug's washed vouchers.
