Jane and I to St Helena's Christingle service, preceded by a mini-fair in the courtyard. So we have a very nice mulled wine and a minced pie each and chat a bit. Last year I had no luck at all at the tombola, but made up for it this year when my €4 worth of tickets netted me a small bottle of lemon juice, a bottle of something mysteriously referred to as "aroma tonic, energizing body treatment fragrance", and a large bottle of zivania, a clear Cypriot brandy with a potent 45% alcohol content. Traffic still busy afterward, though not the surprising gridlock we encountered going. Where ARE all those people headed at 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon?
Collect J and Bill back at the Sunflower and have a massive supper over at Agios Andreas Restaurant, past Carrefour. Or it would have been massive if we'd eaten it all. Pork skewers and Cypriot sheftalia sausages, and we probably brought home more than we ate.
