J for a haircut today - finally no queue. Interestingly (well, minorly so) all haircutting establishments are closed on Thursdays - tradition or law? After Christmas sales used to be regulated by law - couldn't begin until a particular date - but that seems to have disappeared. Thanks to the EU? And still in the only in Cyprus category, there is local parking. Locals park in "no parking" zones and, chronically on (and blocking) sidewalks, the general understanding being that the police are reluctant to upset things by handing out fines to important people or even friends of friends. this morning J hears an agitated policeman addressing a Cypriot sitting at an outdoor café. Eventually the man rises and walks slowly back to his misparked car nearly a block away and moves it to comply. No ticket and a hard job persuading the coffee drinker to take it seriously. And did the policeman know not only whose car it was but where he was to be found?
Israelis vote today, with the almost certain result being a Netanyahu coalition that moves even further to the right.
