Living the dream - Our villa is for sale

May 20

- Busy week all round and something I forgot to tell you. I need new specs, mine are about 5 years old and although my eyes don't seem to have changed much Joan thought I should try and get a little more up to date. Saturday we went to Akay Optik in Kyrenia and I picked out a very nice titanium frame, extremely light weight, very different to my old specs. Into these, they then had to put a varifocal lens and yesterday I got a call that they were ready, amazing. I went and collected these today and paid less than £300 for them, again amazing as I had priced frames like these in UK last year and they wanted that money for the frames alone. I will have to get used to the very light weight but already they feel comfortable.

Another evening at a restaurant. Hans, our Dutch friend is still over at the moment, but goes back Saturday, so we picked him up and introduced him to Bob and Maggie at Henson's restaurant. He experienced Maggie's home made Steak & Kidney pie for the first time and said he would be back for more next visit.
