 Had determined not to continue in supermarket tabloid mode. After all bizarre and distressing behaviour occurs in all countries and is really not the essence of our usually serene life here. But unable to resist remarking, re the monastery of Avvakum of previous mention, that that thousands of the faithful are reported to be distraught at the discovery that secret cameras had been installed - capturing colour images and recording sound - in the monastery, including in the confessionals.


And in the small mercies department it has been established that giant water bugs recently appearing in North Cyprus do not (contrary to first reports) bite human toes.
