    Saturday during daytime, we did what we are best in, relaxing around the pool. We had decided to go out with David, Özlem and Talia. Amalia and Talia go very well together, and we would like them to meet again. This time we went to Çiftlikdüzü restaurant, my favourite local cypriot place. The restaurant is a local rustic place, with the best handmade, from the bottom, organic food. The place is run by my old friends, Leyla and Orhan Güvenlier with their children Olgun and Muzzi. Muzzi is at present being educated as a chef in a Famagusta school. Olgun is doing his compulsory military service in Turkey at the…

    We have had a few days where we have struggled with something looking like the Novovirus, but all are now fit and ready again. Unfortunately, this day is the end of Laila and Anja’s stay, so we drove them to Lanaca airport. We’ve had a marvellous time together, so, please, come back another time. After dropping them off at the airport, Tove and I took the motorway all the way up to Paralimni with the intention to pay Lidl a visit. Was a bit disappointed as they had very little or no beef at all. However, managed to pick up some bottles of real Champagne, so trip was not a…

About

This is the blog of the every day life of a humble, reasonably happy elderly, retired man, also known as a grumpy old git.

The blog was started for 2 reasons.  First, my missus claims I’m starting to be forgetful.  Keeping a blog will make it easier to remember.  Second, as I keep the blog on my own server, it will help me staying closer to my old profession.

The blog will be updated at random, sometimes daily, sometimes not, just when I feel for it.

After a long time of considerations, I have abandoned the idea of having a multi language blog.  This simply takes to much time and effort.  Translation is now based on Google translate, not foolproof, but will give you an idea of what it’s all about.   The blog is mainly meant for my English speaking friends, and therefore the posts are written in English.  However, feel free to comment in any language
