"Master Bedroom"

Curtain poles part II.  Our bedroom and the third bedroom completed and very good they look too.  It was again very hot work and we needed to lounge in the pool to recover.  But we think it was worth the effort - don't you?

Our first utility bill arrived today.  George from Quality Group called to hand it personally as all water bills had been sent to the company.  We need to take it into the Perivolia Community Centre for payment and to register the account in our name.  Lillian did call but the accountant had gone to lunch!  The bill was for 21Euro for 3 months water!  We will not need to worry about that bill although we think the electricity will be somewhat different. There has just been a price rise of 8% here and with air con and the hot tub we expect it to be a shock when we get it.

"Blue Room"

Emily texted to ask her to go and get her from Agia Napa so we drove along the coast road arriving at 1900.  She had enjoyed her time with her friends.  We stopped at Mackenzy Beach along the way home at a fish taverna for a fish meze.  You do not know what exactly is coming on a meze - they just keep bring courses.  Usually salads and dips with bread to start then an array of grilled and fried fish including calamari and octopus.  Octopus is surprisingly good.  The meal usually finishes with one large fish from the 'grill / barbecue '.  Last night it was supera (sic) which was a lovely very white soft texture with good taste garnished with fresh parsley.
