Boxing Day, and a holiday because Christmas was on a Sunday. And as always and everywhere excellent leftovers with minimal effort. Another good reason for not, despite our limited cooking facilities, resorting to a restaurant for Christmas dinner. The best reason is that we make a much better dinner than we would have had in most restaurants - and that’s even before finishing with a small glass of Chartreuse.
Tomorrow is the last day for Cypriots to register to vote in February’s presidential election, of which, no doubt, endlessly more later. A reminder that in the past political parties used to pay for students studying abroad to come home to Cyprus to vote. A free trip to see family and friends that doubtless engendered gratitude in the hearts of even the totally apolitical. Meanwhile municipal elections in the North seem to have resulted in modest wins for leftish pro (unification) solution candidates, which is good, even if everyone has learned not to hope for too much.
