Friday, December 8/2017



Jane and Bill stop in for coffee - and get to admire our new flat. Agree it is a step up - as well as three floors down. We wake up in the morning, look around, and smile. 

In the afternoon to what is now unimaginatively, and only semi-accurately, named the Super Discount Store. Probably still known to locals by its long term title, Sarris, still faintly visible atop the building. Our in house name for it remains the Elephant Store, after one of its briefer incarnations. Blue cheese, milk, wine, onions, tomatoes, tomato paste, mushrooms, cucumbers. I call J's attention to a display of cakes bearing a proprietary name that would make them unsaleable in the English speaking world - Morfat. We all know that's the result, but no one cares to think about it. 

First spaghetti of the Larnaca season, so the new flat is properly christened.
