No sign of last night’s thunderstorm this morning, which is good because Bill and J have plans to do some garden trimming. Pass a large snail - maybe two inches - on the path. Unlike most animal subjects, snail unable to hurry away, so do get its photo.
Kaffir lime, bougainvillea, etc. For the chop. Some of the trimmees fight back. Fairly tough thorns on bougainvillea. Garden definitely in spring mode. In Cyprus lawns are rare - simply not enough water, especially in summer, to waste it like that, but paving stones and flowers everywhere.
Bill puts salmon fillets in the smoker for lunch and Jane has baked apples. The working it off bit of some value as we’re slated to go out for dinner, and have not only booked but pre-ordered the kleftiko, as arrival time is much too late to start slow cooking. Involves forethought, but much nicer result than when restaurants rely on pre-cooked, frozen, thawed, reheated. Be good to fast for the next two days, but not very likely to happen.
