Re: Protecting car bodywork

Why don't you get a cover for the car? You will have to put it on and take off but no big problem. It depends how often you use the car. We had considered that but were hoping for the easiest option, as we are not as young as we were. Don’t really need to worry about this until next Spring as the s...

Nothing can be installed. Landlady very protective of her investment, which we absolutely agree with.

I thought portable shades needed anchoring. You can tell how little I know about these things.

Senior moment

I need to change my location but can’t remember how to do it. Definitely a “senior moment”.

Protecting car bodywork

We have recently moved and it is not possible to park our car in the shade. Our landlady will not allow (understandably as she has spent tens of thousands restoring the property) any alterations which might allow us to install a car port. My question is this … we want to protect the bodywork from th...

MEU3 change of address

I cannot believe, in the third decade of the 21st century, that we have to appear at Immigration in person to change our address for the MEU3. My wife is no longer able to travel to Paphos for anything but medical treatment. Does anyone know if there is a workaround?

Re: Neo Chorio, Latsi and Polis

Dominic, my wife and I have recently come across this video and it was extremely interesting. After twelve years in Argaka we are moving to Neo Chorio at the end of the month. Your trip through the village enabled us to notice things that we hadn’t been able to focus on (driving through the narrow s...

Donations for the fire victims

Up here in the Polis region, people are moving mountains to give support and aid to the victims of the dreadful fires. There are collection points everywhere and the donations are staggering. I hope that the same thing is happening across the Paphos region, and will be supported by forum members and...

On the move after 12 years …

We are moving from Argaka at the end of August to another village in the area.

Changing addresses - there are some obvious ones, both here and in the UK.

But we would welcome suggestions for those we might overlook.

Please feel free to suggest the obvious and the not so obvious.

Apple repairs

If you have Apple products (iPads and iPhones) that need repair, they sometimes need specialist care. My iPad, a few months out of warranty, developed a problem. I contacted https://www.prismastore.cy (from whom I bought it) and it was couriered to Nicosia. The next day they telephoned and a technic...

Ultrasound scan (GESY)

I normally use George Vorkas for ultrasound scans but, when I telephoned this morning, their first available appointment was a month away. Any suggestions for a quicker GESY appointment in Paphos? Evangelismos gave the equivalent of not being really bothered as they were so busy.

Some weeks ago she was informed it would arrive at nine o’clock in the evening. And this weekend she has been informed it will arrive at...
