“Coronavirus: Cabinet to decide on reopening of airports on Friday” reads the headline in the Cyprus Mail. It’s not what they mean, of course. There’s no question of reopening airports on Friday, and Larnaca airport has not, in fact, been closed. Cargo flights have been entering and leaving, just not scheduled passenger flights. Does mean that the Cabinet will meet on Friday to look at resuming regular passenger flights, possibly establishing an actual starting date as well as conditions.
Fall asleep in the afternoon and wake when J asks if I heard the truck beep. I hadn’t but he, fortunately had. So the fruit and veg truck that usually comes on Tuesday had stayed away on the holiday but is here today instead. And may well have explained this to everyone last Friday. More oranges. They’re so good, with each section like a mini cup of juice. Apricots for the first time, small but fully ripe. Though always slightly disappointing because both tinned and dried have so much more intense flavour.
Someone has been eating the flowers on our passion flower vine. Originally thought it was a bird but now wonder about bats, in part because there are bats swooping around in the evening and in part because the consumption always happens at night. There are eighteen types of insect eating bat in Cyprus as well as one fruit eating type. Although the flowers are rather a long way from becoming fruit.
