Waterbulb
This bulb just could not take more water. A result from the last storm with water flooding down the electric channel. Luckily it looks like we have got away with very little damage. Maria sent me this video this morning

7 weeks wihout socks done
7 weeks without socks were done yesterday and what an exit we had. Morning started a bit stressful by the taxidriver showing up an hour early. Taxi was booked for 6.30 so he just had to have an extra nap in the car. When leaving Sweetwater Bay we noticed big cloud formations in the sky and knew there was some rain forecasted. Just thought it was a perfect day to leave after so many days in the sun. Finally we had a taxi driver that did not thought he was Michel Schumacher or Ayrton Senna. Had a nice and easy drive to Ercan airport. Check-in was done without any problem…

A hairy night and Sunday roast
When writing this, it’s Monday, Tove and I have had our daily morning walk, had our shower and now just finished lunch. This day is predicted to be hot, 31 degrees officially. However, it’s overcast, so has yet not reached that high on the thermometer, but with more or less no winds, you can feel the heat and humidity. This October has been amazing.

On Friday we were invited to a gathering at Lin and Alan Murrell’s house. Incredible 25 people appeared, all English…

Ezic Peanuts, Pulp Kitchen, Pamper Yourself and Moonshine
Life goes on in the fast lane. Keeping the blog still gives me a bit of work, to keep it nice and tidy. A lot of pictures has been randomly uploaded, and have been kept in a big chunk. It’s easy to lose the overview, which I did. Searching around I found some plugins that have been tested. I landed on one called Mediamatic pro. Cost me a few bucks, but is well worth to avoid the hassle of uncategorised mediafiles . In between there is always time to visit some restaurants down here, some good, some not so good, and time to keep in touch with good friends. Making…

Bacalao, music and eco market
A few busy days have passed. On Saturday we were invited to Leif and Sølvi’s apartment for a bacalao party. There were quite several of us and a mix of nationalities. English, Russian, Swedes, Turks and of course Norwegians. Sølvi’s bacalao was better than any time and accompanied by enough wine. After the table, there were music. We have several talented musicians in the group, Dimitri, Dagfinn and Graeme all had sessions on guitar, playing, singing popular songs. After a while Dimitri disappeared, but returned with his electric piano. He really touched us all with his music. I walked home during early hours. Sunday started with strong winds, increasing during…
