Quick trip down to Sunflower to book the 4th floor flat for next winter. A thirteen minute walk from here. So we're committed- and happy about it. Then back to the market place. M&M areat Jimmy's Cafe drinking Cyprus cofee while we take advantage of the hot sun and split a large beer.

Look up Thursday's "gifthead fish" via Google and find that the only good hit is a reference to my own blog entry. So clearly there is a problem with the name. Accepting Google's suggestion that the fish in question may be "gilt-head", I pursue this and find that gilt-head is a particularly nice tpe of bream, and further that Greeks and Cypriots know it as tsipoura. So presumably Berlitz's entry has relied on poor handwriting or enunciation at some point, l and f not being very near each other on the keyboard.
