Nicely balanced day. Morning listening to the Today program (BBC Radio 4) and in the afternoon M and I meet up with Jane for the Monday hash. It's in extensive parkland near Aridippou, which is now more or less suburban Larnaca. A nice walk with lovely views of surrounding hillsides which have, somehow, raken in enough rain to be as green as Ireland. I chat on the walk with Fatholsa (spelling almost certainly wrong) a Cypriot woman who has lived ingermany for over 40 years but spends frequent extended holidays in cyprus where she maintains a flat. She's a translator and fluent in five languages. Very interesting.
