Make supper at usual time thinking that power cut, should it happen, not expected to be all that long and in any case could always resort to cheese and tomato or humus sandwiches and clementines. Pretty painless. And reading material ensconced on well charged ipads.

Showers in the morning, really for the first time since the brief ones the day we arrived in the South, although it did rain heavily in the night once. When it does rain it’s immediately obvious how inadequate the road drainage is, particularly on the side streets. Puddles would be a definite understatement as there are blocks that are no go without rubber boots. But all dissipates within a few hours so obviously never high on the infrastructure agenda. Actually the more serious problem is not rain but rather the lack of it. Desertification is a genuine threat - Cyprus predicted to be a desert within fifty years - and the rain such as it is should be more carefully saved than it sometimes is, although there are reservoirs.
