Monday, February 3/2014



Having coffee this morning when we notice a large military ship, improbably cruising our shallow and most unmilitary bay. Close enough to shore that we speculate on whether it will hit ground, it heads back and forth, holding its course in very heavy winds. 

The mystery is solved with the evening news. It was a Danish naval frigate, with the Cypriot foreign minister, Ioannis Kasoulides, aboard being shown a demonstration of the decontamination procedures to be used on Syrian chemical weapons.
