Crazy weather. Rain, but also strong enough winds that the rain, which is only intermittent, at times seems to be hitting the windows horizontally. Warm enough, though, so before the rain really starts we split up. I to Elephant Store for olive oil, yoghurt, mushrooms, peppers, pears, and J to Lidl for bread, flour, little spinach pastries. Conference pears delicious here - sweet, juicy, and ripe but not over ripe.
To To Kozani in the evening with Jane and Bill. By this time the rain is over, and the water that floods the streets has, as always, mysteriously disappeared. Good thing, because the restaurant is hard enough to find in the endless dark maze of narrow streets without rain. Always a warm welcome here as reward for reaching the end of the maze, though Jane had hoped to be nearer to the little wood burning stove. (Though wood burning in Cyprus is hard for a Canadian to take seriously, consisting as it does of twigs and odd ends of scrap wood - except for the time at Ship Inn where one of the workers added a whole plastic carrier box to create a presumably toxic mixture in the large fireplace.) Nice leisurely meal and the maze, as always, easier to negotiate in reverse.
