To Lidl. Actually, prices of produce, meat, cheese, etc rarely match local shops unless there is a sale, but sales are fairly frequent and wine, liquor, chocolate prices (the basics) usually quite good. Bread and pastries good as well. Less accountability, though, than with small Cypriot shops, where one might conceivably discuss the quality of this week's fillet. J suggests I should wear my sunhat home, but we opt to use it to wrap the second wine bottle to avoid clinking.
Home to find, as half expected, carpet not cleaned and tile on far side of carpet not swept or mopped either, thus creating a large section of the flat which the cleaners will presumably feel free to ignore. Possibly unfair suspicion that this was the main point of Maria's finding us the carpet.
