Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day. First time since 1945 they've been on the same day, which is slightly bizarre. But this is Cyprus, and Greek Orthodox Easter, and therefore Ash Wednesday, is a week later than the Western. This year, not every year. Don't ask. Meet Maggi for coffee and she comes bearing three small pastries which she has acquired while doing volunteer visiting. Very nice with coffee, and settles the question of which day is being celebrated. M getting ready for trip to Sri Lanka. On the way back pass a motorcycle more studded than adorned.
Lunch and then to Prinos. Grapefruit, oranges, pears, onions, baby potatoes, garlic, courgettes, cauliflower, tomatoes, yellow peppers - and change back from our €5. Passed on the snails, though.
