Monday 10th October

A trip to immigration - interesting in that it is a fairly ramshackled building with lots of people sitting around, not doing very much behind huge numbers of files.  Reminded me of visits to the Indian Embassy when in Dubai!  Forms collected and appointments made for a month's time during which we need to collect lots of paper not least getting an E106 form from the UK for Health cover.  We need to explore this as i don't want to lose access to UK hospitals.  Might be that we will need to take some form of private health care to meet the authorities requests.

Although Lillian could not play as her foot is still bad, we went to bowls.  Lots of members present and 6 rinks in operation.  We paid our dues and were issued with membership cards and am now 'fully paid up members' of the Kiti and Pervolia Bowls Club.  The Captain gave a rallying speech after the first games to congratulate all that had played in the Champions weekend just gone and the supporters who attended.  Although none were overall Cyprus Champions but obviously acquitted themselves well.  It would seam following a draw at the presentations that K&P will host the 'Champions weekend' next year.

I played in two games of triples and was on the winning side both times, even getting a couple right on the jack.  "Have you played before?" asked one lady I met for the first time as I rolled another close.  "Yes.  On Saturday." was my smug reply.  Of course it was all down to Lillian's coaching from the side.  The bad ones that is and there were plenty of those.

Home and lazy for the rest of the day.  It was hot this afternoon and the thermometer on the patio showed 90F at about 1500 hrs.
