Weather seems to have turned a spring corner. Coffee at Harry's Café. J spots a newly arrived couple from Norway passing and they stop to chat. They're staying at the Sunflower with us, as they have in past years, and are delighted to be out in the sun and, as she shows me, wearing sandals. Now, if only we could remember their names! Ask Kiki? Or tell the couple we've forgotten first names and then ask Kiki for surnames? Pack our carry ons for flight to Crete tomorrow. Never worry too much in Cyprus about whether the dimensions might be a centimetre out - whatever we take, there will be Cypriots taking much more.
