Good morning all
Morning sugars at 5,7 mmol/l after usual 5km walk
Unlike last night, which was terrible with a blocked nose because of my cold giving me very restless sleep, yesterday was terrific.
To be honest any day when I get to spend it travelling out of Nicosia with friends would be terrific in my books. One of the advantages of living in a small place like Cyprus, as I do, is that less than an hour's drive can mean a complete change of scenery. From Urban Nicosia located in the flat central plane to a beach on the coast, or as was the case yesterday to one of the two mountain ranges, with quaint small villages and pine forests.
We were there to have lunch with friends at this small taverna.
What we did not count on was how different the weather would be. While a few miles away Nicosia was sunny and dry here it was overcast with clouds which quickly released heavy showers. So we were not able to do much exploring being confined to the shelter of our restaurant.
Our compensation was the magnificent twin rainbow that appeared as we were travelling back down.
I leave you with this photo of my wife and me taken during yesterday's lunch.
I had posted it on a Facebook and an aunt actually rang me to say that she was relieved to see it as she had heard that I had lost a lot of weight and looked really terrible as a result!
One of the bad things about living in a small place like Cyprus is that too many people take an interest in your affairs and usually think they know better than you do what you should or not be doing and are not shy to say so. I guess at least my aunt did it out of concern.
Apologies for the length of this post.
