Our guest flat has been well-occupied this year, with a mixture of friends (old and new) and friends-of-friends. We were very pleased to welcome back some relatively recent friends a few weeks ago, bringing a sister for the first time. They spent most of their week exploring the island in a rental car, but took us out for a wonderful Lebanese meal, near the sea-front, before they left:
I did not recognise most of the dishes, a surprising number of which were vegan, but they were all good and it was a most enjoyable evening out.
I've continued walking with my friend Sheila, three times per week. We've seen a few more sunrises:
Alexander the Great continues to wreak havoc on the house in his special way:
While Joan of Arc is - mostly - more peaceful:
On another walk, we saw unusual cloud formations that looked almost like flying saucers coming over the horizon:
We were pleased to note, after a fairly heavy rainstorm, that there was at least a little water in the Salt Lake after a few dry months. We could tell by the reflections of the other side:
The weather has cooled sufficiently that I now go out in long trousers rather than shorts. Our walks have also been starting rather later, as the days become shorter... this morning it was almost 7.00am before we set out. However, the clocks go back tonight so next week it will be light by 6.00 again. At least for a few weeks.
Richard's birthday came and went... he didn't want to do anything much, but we did go out to eat at an Indian place along the Dhekelia Road:
It's somewhat 'British Indian' in style, but nicely done, with delicious food.
Alex and Joan have realised that it's getting cooler... so now, rather than spreadeagling over the floor, they're more inclined to curl up together in the cat bed I made nearly a year ago:
