Tuesday, May 12/2020


Weather here predicted to be hot over the next few days, probably in the 30’s, which is more typical of Famagusta in June and July than May. We have high ceilings and stone walls, and it’s nice outside in the early morning, late afternoon and evening, usually with a breeze. Meanwhile unenviable records being set in Northwest Ontario - for nighttime lows. Sioux Lookout recorded at -7.4. That’s the lowest since 1943, before either of us was born. Some averaging out wouldn’t go amiss.



“Our” black cat frequently to be found curled up on the doormat, although even if the door is standing open and nobody is paying attention it doesn’t cross the threshold. And across the road there is plenty of activity at the coal tit apartments. At least two are occupied but two more have been in use and we’re not positive whether they still are lived in or were abandoned. Can imagine the domestic disputes - yes it was a lot of work making the nest but the view is better from next door.
