I did write (with pen and paper!) reviews of all the books I read while away, and kept a note of all the money I spent... but somehow it's hard to get motivated to do these things, even though I'm in my air-conditioned study, and they're all computer related.
The weather is hot, of course... around 32C in the shade. But to my surprise (and great relief) it's not very humid. A little sticky, but if I go outside, or am in a room where the aircon isn't switched on, I don't feel drenched. This is a great bonus, and I am thankful!
I did do a fairly major clean of the house on Thursday, and have done three loads of laundry since coming back to Cyprus. Yesterday evening Richard and I swept and mopped the outside stairs and the patio at the front, both of which were looking rather grubby. We used a mop and bucket, of course, although some of our neighbours told us we should really use a hose... when Richard said that there's a hosepipe ban, and that it would waste water, they just shrugged and said (with truth) that everyone else uses them!
Today, Richard has gone sailing - as he usually does on a Saturday - and I've had time to myself. I have finally succumbed to the lure of Facebook - prompted in part by Tim saying he would play Scrabble with me online if I did. I'm still not entirely sure what the point of a social networking site is, other than to network socially... and to waste inordinate amounts of time playing word games!
However, if anyone reading this (a) has a Facebook account and (b) knows me well enough to know what my surname is [so you can find me there!], then please feel free to add me as a friend if you would like to.

Glad you're back home safely.
I miss reading books. Apparently I unconsciously gave that up when I went back to work!
No, I haven't used Facebook, but I hear it's great for finding old friends/schoolmates, and for checking out prospective employees/coworkers.
Glad you had a nice vacation. Now it seems you are back to housekeeping.
I, too, love books. I have not been reading enough to suit me. I always say I'll read more when it is too cold to go outside.
Summer is my chance to get used books and they do pile up !!
Slow down.

You've just got back, and we're about to go on holiday. 32 degrees sounds quite nice, pleasantly warm in fact. I thought you had much hotter summers than that over there!ustyv
It is a little warm here in the hills of Polemi today, the breeze has taken a while to realise it should be cool ;)
Nice to meet you
feel free to visit my blog
I have a stack of books like that in my house!
