Jane's art group has an exhibition opening. It's on all week, though only in the mornings. Cyprus often has cultural displays, museums, etc closing for the day about the time I'm ready to head out, although this could just be when the artists are able to take turns looking after things. Tonight's opening, though, is a respectable 7-9:30 pm. J and B stop at our place but have to be there early, so we walk down for 7. It's in an older building that has be recently restored for use as a cultural centre, and the space is lovely for the purpose - light and spacious with a large room and a smaller one as well as alcoves. Quite a lot of paintings, some of them very good though it's basically an amateur group, and an interesting variety. Only one obligatory opening speech, and (unlike other openings we've attended here) in English not Greek. Quite respectable glass of wine as well. Still warm out when we walk back an hour later.
