Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
Well it finally happened, somebody came down this morning to try to repair the damage, on a temporary basis, to the top of the road. They cleaned out the hole, where the phone connections are made and set a new concrete top with reinforcing to go over the top. About 4 p.m., long before the concrete had set a 20 ton lorry appeared, the driver took one look at all the warning signs that were around the concrete work, go
t out of his lorry, picked the whole lot up and deposited on the side of the road and drove across the open hole. Yes, you guessed it, we now have no telephone connections.
All we can do today is report the telephone fault, via somebody else's working phone and wait until Monday to go back to the council offices. The whole thing is bloody frustrating and now means that I am going to have to resort to taking my laptop into Kyrenia and connecting up there to do e-mails etc. So if you are awaiting replies, sorry but will try to get things sorted a.s.a.p.
This evening, Michael and Barbara had invited us down to enjoy a curry evening, together with some visitors who they have staying on holiday, at the moment. We all agreed to enjoy the food and wine and not to mention the word telephone all evening.
