Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
Phone charges slashed says the headline in this weeks paper. Now that is really interesting as it is almost impossible to get a phone line these days so unless this is a nice election campaign stunt, can't see the point myself.
Two killed as the island is battered by storms. Thursday was a day of torrential rain and storms with one person being truck by lightening in a field and a motorist died near Paphos when his car went down a precipice. It really has been quite horrendous these last few days and our cats have taken to their bed and only rush out when absolutely essential.
Well the results are out from the cancer char
ity walk. Apparently a total of 500 eventually did the 10km over the mountain. When you are walking it just does look as if there are so many but between us all we managed to raise over £30,000 for the charity, a great result.
Lots of the same old stories about deeds, builders who have done it wrong again etc but I never cease to be amazed. Maybe because we are trying to sell and therefore have had a few viewings, that I have become more aware. In this day and age with the internet available to all and forums and blog sites warning all and sundry, still they continue to tread were others have been before and learnt and publicised the outcome. They sign up to off-plan projects were the land has not been parceled off to individual plots. Why, probably because the builder does not want to spend the money and maybe wants to raise funds from the bank on a large piece, at exorbitant interest rates that he cannot pay so he will eventually expect the purchaser to stump up. They buy in the middle of building sites that will remain building sites for years to come and were no deeds can be available until things are completed and then they write to the paper and complain. A little internet homework would have saved all that subsequent writing. There is nowt so queer as folk.
