So the winter weather stepped up its game yesterday, and the season for walks and fresh sea air arrived with one hell of a fanfare. An honest to God tornado blasted through Limassol and Pafos this weekend, leaving significant damage to Pafos hospital and generalised flooding in its wake.
Now by damage I mean flooded floors and collapsed ceilings, and the flooding was knee-deep at best, but the fact remains – summery it was not.
Down here, things were far more civilised. I was woken by torrential rain on my window at about 02:00. I thought ‘yay!’ and went back to sleep happy.
The following day, the boardwalk was all but deserted bar for the cats from last year, the three kittens have grown almost beyond recognition but they recognised us and we all said ‘Hi’.
Soon it’s going to be time for strolling out with a bag of moggie treats on a free morning and meeting up with the little guys while watching the teal-coloured sea foam against the little jetties the visitors used for getting into the water in the summer.
Hope to see you guys as summer visitors next year – but me and the cats, it’s our turn for now.
