We’re slightly taken aback by how warm it is. True, we haven’t been in Cyprus in October before, but we have been in the first part of November. Predicted highs this week between 28 and 30, while the average high in November is 23 in Larnaca. But then no two years fit the average pattern precisely anywhere. Expected lows between 16 and 20. No mid-continent effect here!
Retrieve our storage boxes, now down to two, and bring them up to the flat. No huge surprises - a little kitchen gadgetry and a few charity shop treasures, a couple of books. Also a combination radio CD player and quite a few CDs, another charity shop find years ago. Probably the collection of someone who died or went back to England. But music we like.
Minimal grocery shop at Sarris, still know to us as the elephant store from a previous incarnation. Sun dried olives at €4.39 (£3.82, $6.44 CAD) a kilo, a loaf of wholemeal bread, a couple each of onions, long sweet red peppers, courgettes and bananas, and a few mushrooms. And on the way home a kilo of honey and a bottle of Spanish cabernet. We have chicken and cheese. It’s a start.
