Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
Finally manged to get the last heavy cut back of the lantana hedge completed and now of course some of the earlier sections are starting to put on fresh growth, so now the resolution is not to let it get out of hand again.
It was really hot work, so this brave soul decided that the only solution was to have the first dip in the pool this year. Silly old fool, I was very hot and the pool is still only 22 degrees, cries of anguish and shouts of bloody hell, followed by a very hot shower. It really has been very strange
this year as we have not had the early start to the warm weather that we are used to. Previous years we have been in the pool by the third week of April at the latest, but we seem to have had a lot of heavy clouds hanging around this spring and in fact it absolutely hosed it down yesterday evening and trough most of the night. The locals do say that summer actually starts on 15th May each year, so on their say so we only have a week and a day to go.
Joan and I had a large pork joint in the freezer, so we got this out yesterday, as it is getting sort of time to stop the Sunday roasts and asked Michael & Barbara to join us for an early evening dinner. A very pleasant evening was rounded off by watching a couple of DVD's we had bought in Bulgaria. Rod Stewart, Albert Hall live performances, where he promoted his American Songbook CD's. See there is life in these old swingers yet as we all four really enjoy this music. It's a bit of a bugger though, when he talks about songs written in the late 50's and early 60's and we know all the words.
