Second day of Ramadan, but we, happily, are not fasting. A bit cloudy but no rain and not cold so we’re back to our usual Friday gathering at the Blue Song.
We go to the bar when we arrive and the bar tender says “two draft”. I’m impressed. “You remembered”. Then he goes to the cooler and takes out two bottles of Efes lager and two glasses. Would raise an eyebrow in query were I so accomplished. He explains with a nod toward the tap.”Not good today”. Fair enough.
Stop for groceries on our way home.
Fruit and veg and a half dozen eggs. But most important the Ramadan pidesi, Ramadan bread. Sesame studded and at its best when still warm, as it is now. Seems a pity that those observing Ramadan have to wait until after sunset.
And, from the for what it’s worth department, North Cypriot press Kibris Postasi reports that Whitehall has not given permission for US operations against Iran to be conducted from RAF Akrotiri in southeast Cyprus, apparently as a result of concerns that the UK might be found to be violating international law.
