Fly Thomas Cook has called and left a voice mail to the effect that our flight to Paphos on November 25 has been cancelled. Call back and they're happy (much happier than we) to rebook us on Easyjet at 7:15 - more than two hours earlier than the TC flight. Not really a great deal to be done - and none of it the fault of the pleasant Nicola. TC seems on its last legs. Actually it's amazing they got us on the UK phone. We could easily have been in Morocco and never got the message.
In the evening we meet up with Alexander and Flora at the Colossi Grill near Sadler's Wells Theatre. The Greek Cypriot staff know A&F well and are happy to recommend their best. A meze selection for starters (and whitebait for A). Then souvlaki for A and F and lamb kleftiko for J and me - beautifully succulent on the bone. Noisy and cheerful and we do get to chat a little - politics, economics, families, food.
