Suspect that, given that we have less than five weeks left to extend the visas or leave the country, we're going to have to opt for leaving the country, temporarily at least. Last year Mr Andreas said confidently that he could get us an extension with immigration if he had a month's notice, so this year we brought up the subject a week before Christmas, complete with all the documentation, thinking nothing to lose. And also expecting nothing much. But Mr Andreas has apparently visited immigration, telling us at the beginning of the week that he had been and that we would need to go to Nicosia. We assumed this would be the bureaucratic run around and were dismissive, but he looked so crestfallen that we asked if he really thought it would work. Yes, yes, just that the office is in Nicosia. So in a couple of days, when the weather is nicer....

Does he plan to come with us, I ask J. Otherwise why worry on our behalf about the weather? But more probably he is buying time to write a required letter.
