Re: Paphos Easter Decorations

Cyprus always went to town with Easter decorations, lovely.

Poor old Easter Bunny, I haven't seen a rabbit here for two or three years now. Very, very sad.

Re: Lidls ice cream

Always better to make yourself. At least you know what goes into it.

I had an ice cream maker, what a faff, I gave mine away. Now I make the Nigella base and add anything I wish, stem ginger is lovely.

Re: Clocks go forward for daylight saving time on March 29

I just wish they would leave it alone at GMT. No need for this now.

Trev, yes it's a bind having to set the alarm for 2am (UK time), just to put the clocks forward :lol:

Re: HMRC what a joke they are.

It's not just HMRC, it's every official department here in broken Britain. Last November, I was asked to return my driving licence for renewal, which I did immediately. After hearing nothing for a month or two, I rang DVLA to ask where my licence was, after waiting an age for my call to be answered,...

Re: Cool-headed advice needed for a friend in need.

Does your neighbour own a car? If so, she could wait until the tenant has gone out, then put her car in her own space. That is, If she is sure that it is indeed her space, of course. Has she tried asking nicely, if her neighbour would stop using her space?

A difficult situation when you live alone.

Here in the UK, the news feeds on my laptop this morning are, quite frankly, ridiculous.

Re: FLU and COVID JABS

It appears that the jabs work. Never had Covid as far as I'm aware, but last week I lost my voice, followed by an elevated temperature, and nasty chest infection. Spent the week looking after my cats, and crawling back to bed. Don't have a diagnosis, but I only know of one other person with the same...

Re: Paphiakos Protest at Paphos Court House On November 14 (10 am)

:( This is terrible news for the stray animals in Paphos. There must be something that can be done, to relocate the shelter, surely.

Re: Christmas Ads

It has to be the Boots Christmas ad for me. As for Christmas delivery slots, as a Tesco customer with a delivery subscription, I was able to book a slot sooner than customers without. Got up at 5.45 to log on to Tesco, ahead of the 6.am opening time. Waited until 6.35, yeah, my turn, wrong! the scre...

Re: FLU and COVID JABS

Just as a matter of interest, are these jabs free in Cyprus for the elderly?

This year in the UK, as I understand it, they are only being given free, to people over the age of 75, or in an 'at risk' category.
