A quiet week in Cyprus

Just to let you know that it has been a relatively quiet couple of weeks. Dale was here for a few extra days while the plane was in maintenance so I managed to drag him along to a few of my regular events. He really outdid himself at our Monday bridge group with us coming in first place. He hadn't played in so long, I am amazed that he even remembered how to. We also had Peter and Linda as well as Ken and Lesley over for lunch on Peter's birthday.

One of the Regimental Bands from the UK was here, so we went with John and Rosemary to seethem atthe Harbour. What a lovely venue - and the weather was perfect too; just brought along a light sweater for later.

We also went to the Village Inn in Chlorakas for a BBQ and an evening of Irish singing. Our friend Phil was the entertainment. I have also included a couple of pictures of Phil and Jim playing at the Beach Bar in Mandria.

We have our place up for sale now, so took a couple of pictures to go along with that. We have also listed with one realtor, but should do another one or two. It would certainly be nice if they had MLS here and then one wouldn't have to deal with more than one agency.

Dale has gone back to work and I have resumed my usual schedule with an added afternoon of Mahjong thrown in for good measure. We hope to get in a visit with Adam and Natalie in Cairo while they are there this month too. Other than that, just enjoying the sunshine and lovely temperature. Today is a bit humid, but the rest of the week should be fine - around +30C.

I was hoping to skip over my birthday unscathed, but got too many good wishes and kind thoughts to have it go unnoticed (thank you all). Linda took me out to 5th Floor, which is a really nice place with a great buffet. So it looks likeI will have to count this one after all.

Dale should be back at the end of the week, but he has such a bad cold that I think he will just have to sit around and take it easy. Poor guy, I know you will be thinking of him whilst he lounges around the pool recuperating.
Take care and ttys.
Love,
Laurel
