Always slightly surprising when we go out first thing on an overcast December morning and realise that the temperature is the same outside as in - in this case twenty degrees. Another lovely hibiscus on the hedge, and a bud beneath it so the next one will be along soon.
Comments in the local press regarding co-operation on family issues and programs between North Cyprus and Azerbaijan. Nothing major but North Cyprus not recognised by many countries - well actually only by Türkiye - so all forms of international respect welcomed. Not that this amounts to formal recognition, but it’s valued anyway. Probably unrelated but one of the local supermarkets has Azerbaijani wines on sale for 99 lira ($3.25 CAD, £1.74). Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon - a step up from simply “red” - and quite drinkable.
Still sixteen degrees as we go out to admire the last supermoon of the year directly above the terrace.
