Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

Lovely warm day again today and because we knew in advance that the Electric Authority were going to cut off our power, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., we had the reasonably early breakfast and then went in to the garden.

No hedge cutting as the electric trimmer would not be working and we had decided not to have the diesel gennie thumping away all day, so out came the big hand shears and I spent lots of time trimming some shrubs in the front area. Satisfying work, now I only need to get some of that weedkiller on the gravel areas around the front drive, but guess that may have to wait as there is rain forecast for early in the week.

Richard came round early in the afternoon as he is dog and house sitting for somebody this week, but we had promised him dinner today.

By about 3.30 p.m. it starts to get cold as the sun has gone behind the mountains so we were all three glad to get indoors and get the gas fire on. Also it gave me a chance to read this weeks Cyprus Today so that I can pick out a few items for you in tomorrows posting.
