morning at the local farmers market

First Eddie renamed himself Effie, and today he changed mama's name to Maffie. Effie and Maffie, that sounds like a waterproof team don't you think?

Today is the first day this year when it's warmer ourdoors than indoors. It's true Cyprus weather, and I remember why we moved here in the first place. In the morning we went to the local farmers market for some potatoes, Cypriot bananas and halloumi.

We had some coffe in the café area but when leaving we where stopped by this strange old man who asked us to sit by his table for a coffe. He introduced himself as mayor of Limassol and Paphos and let us know how important he is. Even his three sons's godfathers where all expresidents of Cyprus.

He gave us fruits and flaounas and wanted to know all about us and assured he could help us with any matters we would encounter. And he wanted to invite us for a lunch. Well, there's nothing like a free lunch. And I think we will skip this one. How was your day?

island weather

This week's been really warm outdoors. It's been enjoyful hanging out in the park with the kids after their school. Even if it's supposed to bit chillier next week, I think we've seen the end of the typical island winter weather with dark clouds suddenly filling the sky with following massive raining and thunderstorms.

Last week we went to Kourion beach for some kiting with friends. Before the bathing season begins for real I think this stunning place is perfect for kiting. This day the weather was bit unstable going relatively quickly from sun to massive rain. Luckily we had gone inside for some drinks in one of the year around restaurants on this beach.

the yellow month

March is definitely yellow in Cyprus.
