High today 27 with usual comment re higher in the sun. So far stone walls inside are cool and would be for temperatures a fair bit higher. J has put out an improvised bird bath drinking spot a bit away from the steps for the two coal tit families in the tiles opposite. So far no takers, at least not when we’ve been out on the steps observing.
South of the (Cyprus) border there’s often a comic twist to the news. So a number of prisoners have been released in the interest of protecting them from Coronavirus. Only to have three of them back in court, charged with break-ins and multiple thefts. Talking to Maggi who lives in a village just south of Larnaca. It’s only 65 km away, but the other side of a border that’s pretty firmly closed at the moment. Locked down south of the border too, though not quite as tightly. There you apply for permission to go out for a specific purpose, e.g. dog walking or grocery shopping, and are texted - one permission per day. ID registered with the authorities. If you’re under 65 there is no provision for your not possessing a smart phone. Possibly fairly enough.
