Collecting stones under grey skies

For the fifth day the weather was not great.  We awoke to find it had been raining through the night and much of the day was cloud covered although the sun did peep through the clouds occasionally. 

A day to get jobs done.  Car taken for its first service.  Lillian’s bike had the puncture repaired and a new seat (hope this one is more comfortable) and a trip to Lidl meant we are re-stocked.

The rest of the day was spent at home and a beach walk, whilst Andrew and Eve went on a bike ride.  They set of racing along the road and we wondered how long they would keep it up.  Eventually returning some five jours later having gone on the longest so far  of any visitors and us as they cycled into Larnaca!  This is some 10Km from Pervolia.  They had also stopped an eaten at a taverna and experienced the Meze.  A traditional meal which has umteen courses.  Starting with dips of humous, tahini, tazeki, olives and pitta along with crisp salads with tomatoes and feta cheese they finish with a range of meats or fish.  You are always stuffed after a meze so to then cycle 10Km back home it was no wonder they soaked in the hot tub.

Red and green stones

I spend over an hour on the phone with WCL.  They want we to continue working.  Time for some true reflection on this.

For Lillian and I the evening is the last episodes of Prison Break.  After watching some 68 episodes the ending was so disappointing ...... there must be a 5th series.  It just cant end like that?
