Suspect that our weather may accidentally have been switched with London’s. Yesterday afternoon there was 19 and sunny ☀️☀️☀️, though that obviously can’t last. Today in Larnaca seems to be more of same old intermittent rain 🌧. As it has been for the last several days, and is predicted to be until at least Thursday - by which time we’ll be in Bulgaria. Sofia high teens and sunny - at least until Thursday. Hoping we’re not like Joe Btsfplg [spellcheck understandably distressed] of the old Li’l Abner comics. The bloke who walked around with his own little dark cloud of disaster above his head, accompanying him wherever he went.
Even Cypriots have stopped saying “but we need the water”. And most years they’re right. Have even been here when water was being shipped from Greece. Northern Cyprus supplements usually inadequate rainfall with water from Turkey via a five foot diameter 50 mile long pipeline under the Mediterranean. Actually, Turkey offered to supply the South of Cyprus as well, as a peace gesture, but the Greeks chose to beware of Turks bearing gifts.
European change to daylight saving time, or summer time as it’s more commonly known. Pity the countries of the world that make the change couldn’t all see fit to do it on the same day. The iPads have adjusted themselves, and even the unsmart little Nokia asks if it should make the. change,leaving only our watches requiring manual attention.
As well that we didn’t wait up last night for the petition to reach six million, as it hasn’t quite done so by morning, although it’s within a couple of thousand by the time we leave for our last Sunday lunch of the season. And about six thousand over by the time we get back.
