Saturday, January 26/2019

Too noisy to read aloud on the balcony, as the occasional motorcycle cowboy enters  the weekend decibel contest, but it’s sunny. Temperature reaches 40 in the sun. That’s above, not minus! Happily, feels like less than that because there’s a breeze as well as occasional clouds. So we each take a book and a tin of lager. Mediterranean visible in the near distance. We make spaghetti carbonara for dinner, with mushrooms and caramelised onions. Just barely make it too, as the two burner stove gives up just before the spaghetti is cooked. Bacon, onions, and mushrooms already done, so we’re lucky because the water stays hot enough to finish the pasta. Fuse panel ok, as is outlet, so must be the hot plate itself, most probably the plug, as Cyprus uses UK plugs, which have built in fuses. Will see to it tomorrow.
