Adela, living in Ozanköy, twenty km east of us, posted this at dawn. Beautiful, but then there is the saying about red sky in the morning being a warning. Happily a lovely sunny day. Low twenties. Shorts and a gin on ice overlooking the Med. Along with a cigar (J not me). Towels drying on the line. No complaints. Cyprus Mail says dust in the air until mid afternoon, but fortunately don’t read this until late afternoon - and hadn’t noticed it.
Cyprus Mail pleased to join in the worldwide horror at the Epstein debacle, though with nothing particularly appalling to contribute. Left saying that the emails suggest that an Emirati businessman recommended a young woman with a Cypriot mother to Epstein in 2015 when she was studying in Dubai. About as peripheral a link as you could get and one can sense editorial disappointment at not being any closer to the gritty core.
A bit reminiscent of the headline - sadly later proven to be apocryphal - in the now defunct Scottish newspaper The Aberdeen Press and Journal: “North-east man lost at sea”. Following the sinking of the Titanic.
A tough editorial day down at the Cyprus Mail. An article is headed “Man hospitalised with fractured skull after being threatened by landlord”. After being THREATENED? In reading it’s possible to see what the journalistic problem is. An unnamed landlord seems to have threatened three men living on his property. Not receiving satisfaction he left and returned with two masked men who chased and attacked two of the residents, one of whom ended up with a skull fracture. There seems to have been an arrest but as no charges have been officially released the paper is understandably reluctant to become the purveyor of false information.
