And down to our nearby grocery store as we’re out of bread. Here we hit it lucky. There are sourdough olive loaves on the shelf, still warm from the oven. Take two as we know from experience how quickly the first is going to disappear. Also oranges, peanut butter, bananas, mushrooms.
Meanwhile on the south side of the island there is a demonstration taking place outside the British base at Akrotiri which was used last night to launch attacks on Yemen. The protesters are asking for an end to the attacks on Gaza and also an end to making use of Cyprus to carry out British and - especially - American military operations. Due to its strategic location Cyprus has been referred to as an unsinkable aircraft carrier and the base is part of a ninety-nine square mile area retained by the UK at the time of Cypriot independence in 1960 for military purposes.
