Christmas Eve. Lovely weather. This will be our sixteenth Christmas in Cyprus. The first one in two thousand almost accidental, but we've been back every year since, and for longer than the first year's four weeks. Perfect winter climate, and better this year than most, possibly (one hates to think) down to global warning. Walk along the beach, where there are additional tourists for the holiday. Quite decent swimming weather. Average sea temperature in December in Larnaca is about 13, though this year may be more than average. Today's high is about 20, but that's in the shade of course. In the sun on the beach it would be much hotter.
Before coffee at Harry's go through the market. There's always a Christmas Eve market here. More necessary, maybe, because Saturday, the usual day, is Boxing Day, but in any case all Cypriots would want fresh produce for Christmas.
