Another beautiful sunny day. Brunch and the newspaper - which J points out is getting worse by the week. It always had a high proportion of fill - ads, standard bits from the international press, and lightweight reports on local services, verging on advertisement. but there have always been some fairly good local opinion pieces and they're thinning out. The paper is also our weekly telly guide though. Overpriced as such at a euro sixty perhaps, but we're not likely to give it up, especially as it also includes a guide for BBC World Service radio.
Walk down along the promenade. It's busy now but not on weekdays, so presumably most of these people, whether Cypriot, Asian, or East Europen, have day jobs keeping them occupied. There don't seem to be very many genuine tourists. Stop at yesterday's café for Cyprus coffee. Exactly our best image of retirement - sitting at a little sidewalk café in the sun, sea view, old buildigs, short sleeve weather in February and a friendly café owner who remembers us.
