Watching the stormy weather trickle its way across the Mediterranean. Fairly heavy rain in the night but only bits of drizzle today.
Good day to be in the kitchen, so lentil soup. Then bake rock cakes with what is the very last bit of baking powder. Tell J it’s a choice between cheese biscuits and rock cakes. He, unsurprisingly, opts for the sweeter of the two.
Long weekend begins tonight at sundown. Government offices and banks closed at noon today. Feel a bit sorry for Turkish Cypriots here who had reasonable hopes for a sunny holiday. It’s the most important holiday of the year and a traditional time for visiting friends and relatives with the saying being that the sun always shines for Bayram. Well, may be lucky yet. ☀️ And truly the lack of a sunny weekend is not as sad as the situation of millions across the Middle East where the end of Ramadan is bringing not festivities but destruction and terror.
