Photo from a member of an informal group of TRNC weather watchers. She’s captioned it thunder rumbling in the distance. More or less the way the afternoon has gone. The weather forecast had suggested thunder showers in the early afternoon but reality has been brief intense wind and a few drops of rain.
Nice because we accompany Caroline on a run to Lefkoşa (Nicosia). Within our memory - now approaching a quarter century 🙄 - the road from Girne (Kyrenia) was a simple two lane highway. Now as complexly cloverleafed as any modern city access. Only about thirty kilometres but frequently slowed by traffic.
On the way back spot a large sign atop a building reading FINAL DENTAL SOLUTION. Suggestion of beautician for a funeral home? But no, surely there the clients have sedate expressions not grins. Caroline elucidates. The first word is pronounced fee-nal, with the accent on the second syllable, and is the name of a Northern Cypriot university. Apparently has a dental clinic offering “a variety of treatments “.
