Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
The last couple of days things have changed. Since we arrived here on the island, July 16th, we have got accustomed to eating breakfast outside, but these last couple of days the weather has changed. It is still 18 - 20 degrees in the morning but it has been overcast and quite windy. Maybe this is the prelude to winter, we will see.
Yesterday, we were expecting the television engineers to try to sort out the positioning of our satellite dish and our program cards. When it got around to 6.30 pm I telephoned t
hem and was expecting an excuse, but no, they were on the way. Finally at 7.30 pm they turned up and continued to work until past 10 pm to sort us out. This is Cyprus, this is the norm and the two guys were just happy that we were happy, it sure takes some getting used to.
This afternoon, after the usual Friday shopping trip, Joan and I took a walk down to Lapta beach, the sun had come out, although it for sure was not the blue skies of summer, but it was really pleasant and one hardy soul was out there swimming.
We can hardly believe that Xmas is approaching fast so this evening we will be having a panic with all the cards that need to go off to the U.K. and Holland. It is going to be really strange, already we notice the complete lack of the Xmas build up in the shops. One or two of the small shops, who cater for European residents, have bought in some larger boxes of chocolates and we even saw about 20 Xmas puddings on the shelf.
