At this moment its actually turned to winter in Cyprus, snow has been falling up in the Troodos mountains and some rather cooler days down at ground level... I've even heard talk of rain !

but I know what you mean !

Ah but that was a couple of days ago....

Back to sunny and blue skies again today!

I like to keep an eye on this page to see where the thunderstorms are at this time of year: http://cyprusfiles.esmartdesign.com/storm.jpg and last night got quite excited as there were lots of splashes of red making their way from the West (Paphos side) towards us in the middle that is Limassol. Bitterly disappointed they never reached us though as the storms we get are just fab!

Yesterday we had a massive dust cloud over the whole island and we managed to get photos of a silver sun peeping through it (taken from the top of our street) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cl99XhRVpxA/TQyRUlcxqNI/AAAAAAAAAcc/5Qzms4-NV-U/s1600/IMG_0292_640x480.JPG and http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Cl99XhRVpxA/TQyRVasPTNI/AAAAAAAAAcg/VovYzzxWiFc/s1600/IMG_0294_640x480.JPG

Compare them with this taken only a couple of weeks ago when my parents were here: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Cl99XhRVpxA/TPpuDvR1HmI/AAAAAAAAAZc/WW31sVX_fVE/s1600/IMG_0186_640x480.JPG

And this one when it absolutely poured it down for almost a whole day on 10th December: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cl99XhRVpxA/TQM9vC-b4DI/AAAAAAAAAcI/IQESG_wDucw/s1600/Santa+at+St+Nicholas+roundabout_640x480.jpg (taken from my office where I can normally see the sea). Somebody stole it the day this photo was taken.

You just have to take your chances in Cyprus over winter!

Limassol, Cyprus

Its raining at the moment and rather chilly.
Ok maybe not chilly on UK temps but cold for us that live here.

It's been a lovely day so far in Limassol (I'm close to Kolossi and Akrotiri) and I've been sitting out reading my book on the kitchen veranda.

I'm making the most of my time off before I go back to work again tomorrow. Although, we do get a day off on Thursday for Epiphany

We had a couple of iffy days on NYE and New Year's Day though My friend has been out for a week on holiday and it's gone by so quickly this time. She goes back this evening....
