Getting colder

After a remarkably mild and dry November and first half of December, the weather changed last Thursday. A pity in a way as my mother arrived for a couple of weeks on Thursday, but there's no question that Cyprus needs some rain if we're not to have another drought.

With cloud cover it wasn't particularly cold, but on Saturday we did use our air conditioning switched to 'heat' for a few hours, and then on Sunday we used our central kerosene heater for the first time this season. It's nothing like as good UK-style central heating with radiators in all the rooms, but it does take the chill off the house a little. So long as we remember to keep doors shut!

The cats love it...
