Maggi and I meet Margaret for coffee at George's. M not keen on George's - smoked glass overhead makes the open court darker and chillier, the prices aren't good, etc. - but it's Margaret's local, so to speak. She can go there for elevenses any time and meet someone she knows and share a laugh. There's just the three of us this time, though, so Margaret takes advantage of Maggi's having the car along to ask us over to see her flat. It's in Drosia, a part of Larnaca up past the Salt Lake. A nice, large, secure flat fill of the mementos of a lifetime - a large cabinet full of crystal, some of it a lovely pink, china figures, a cheerful stone Scottie dog. And several framed photographs of Margaret and Charlie, her husband who died three years ago of prostate cancer, including a wonderful one of Margaret (aged 60 at the time she says) clinging to her husband's arm and wearing a miniskirt which shows off a great pair of legs. Maggi and I check with Martina as well as at a randomly chosen other travel agency on the price of airfare only to Egypt. Martina quotes us €180 and the other place €190. The price online from Egyptair is €156.25, and there's no credit card fee, so that settles that.
156.25 return, and there's no credit card fee, so that settles that.
