Car boot sale this morning about five minutes walk away. Equivalent to a Canadian garage sale - and just as a garage is not a necessity for the events in Canada there are no actual car boots in evidence here - mostly tables. Itès near an animal clinic and, seemingly, partially in support of animals. No Greek Cypriots in evidece.The sellers are mainly British expats, though a few are Russian. (Russian increasingly heard on the streets and in the supermarkets). Clothing, paper back books, jewellery, miscellaneous mobile phone chargers, odd bits of china, jars of jam, children's toys. Cheerful start to the day, though we are not about to acquire much in the way of possessions for which we have no space. Everything we have with us will have to be moved to Larnaca in two weeks time. J does end up with an electrical bit that he hopes to adapt to convert our 110 radio to 220 current - while being annoyed at the thought of the converters he's left at home. And I do buy two tops - they can always be donated to a charity shop before we leave.
