Rain as promised - could say threatened but this is an island at risk of desertification. And really rain not a problem. Always have food, drink, books to read. And apart from the provisions it’s not cold and we wouldn’t melt if we put on our rain jackets and walked down to the store. We never assume in London that it’s impossible to go out in the rain.
Lack of electricity could become a problem, though not a fatal one. Apparently we are down to twenty days supply of oil to operate the generators that supply our electricity. Several caveats. The problem doesn’t actually originate with TRNC but is a complicated - and not particularly interesting - spinoff of a Turkish corruption scandal. Ships from Türkiye being the means of transporting the required oil. Also the Republic of Cyprus has allowed that it would be able if necessary to supply some electricity if needed. And there are occasions of cooperation, despite accompanying patronising rhetoric. Mutual assistance in fighting forest fires comes to mind. Our stove top is gas, though the oven (obviously less necessary) and fridge aren’t. Lights are but have battery alternative. And could always dine by candlelight. Romance not dead amongst the old folks. Worst problem would be the fact that the water pump is electrically operated, as at home. So, of course, is WiFi - as in news and communication (which we managed pretty well without when first retired). In other words permanent cessation of electricity would be problematic but rationing - say down to twelve hours a day - wouldn’t be. Not actually expecting either.
