I have ten minutes left in this internet cafe so this is going to be a case of speed blogging.<\/p>\n
After a week, I cracked – in a nice way, like a mature cheese – and bought a guitar. I could sense my fingertips becoming soft. After a month of playing for hours a day, they were hot-coffee-cup-pick-up hardened and I didn’t want to lose that. So I found one of two music shops and bought a cheap Chinese steel-string acoustic, a capo and a set of strings.<\/p>\n
Now Cypriot detente is a fact, looking forward to visiting the north of the island in a couple of days, for a couple of nights. Also it’s now hot enough to justify taking the cover off the pool and adding some chlorine to make it nice and baby safe.<\/p>\n
Oh the sunsets the fruit the birds and the British… but actually it’s a lot of fun, my first real proper holiday in over two years, and just in time for my precious insanity…<\/p>\n
