Paphos Life

The CTO has been replaced by a new Deputy Ministry of Tourism. One effect of the registration regime is likely to be the refusal to register holiday lets outside tourist areas. Such lets have been illegal for many years but difficult to police. The result being that such lets won't be able to use Ai...

They were temporarily based here to fly yanks out of Iraq if it all kicked off. Now that things have quietened down, they have returned to base (probably in Turkey).

I've no time for Piers, but equally have no time for the royals. Interestingly, neither Harry or Megan have any Royal blood anyway. She is a commoner from the USA, and he is the son of princess Di (who wasn't born a royal) and, allegedly, James Hewitt who was a commoner.

Two things:

1. Immigration don't deal with applications for Cypriot nationality. This is handled by the local District Office. Nice helpful people.
2. Don't expect any help from the High Commission.

They sometimes crop up in the Charity shops. Or you could try the duckpond.

You could try One Stop.

I have had post here in Emba within the last 8 days or so.

There is an article in the Cyprus Mail saying there is a delay with parcels this year. It doesn't say anything about letters etc.

Excellent blog and photos. You have ventured far further in Theletra than I have ever done.

As I understand it, we cease to be EU citizens after 31 January. Given the UK government majority I don't see this being postponed any further. At that point we will be in the transition period. The UK government say this won't be any longer than the end of 2020. However, EU rules allow for it to go...

I like Alpha Mega so I thought I would pop in to the new one to have a look. The parking on the ground level was full (it's not that large) so was directed to the roof level. There were lots of spaces available so I parked and went to the lift. This wasn't working so I tried the stairs. Unfortunatel...

I'm pretty sure picture 11 is a donkey.

This is good news and long overdue. It possibly applies to guests from 3rd countries you invite for a holiday, which is even better news.

One Stop have waste fittings in a number of sizes, including 40mm.

I have to say, as a resident of Emba, I am disappointed to learn my village will be joining the Little England municipality. I would have preferred to join with Paphos. Ah well, I will just have to get used to drinking John Smiths, wearing union jack underpants and loosing my Cypriot friends.

Eye contact for me too.

No dogs, cats or kids. I'll try cleaning the seals. Thanks chaps.

Can anyone recommend someone to fix this problem: I have an integrated fridge/freezer where the doors have started opening on their own. The unit is fixed in place and can't move. I have tried to adjust where I can, to no avail, but I'm not able to do much due to a dodgy leg. So I need someone who c...

Good music will be found in all genres. I have seen Segovia live, he was exceptional. I also love Trout Mask Replica (have it in the car).

But if you want to be completely blown away, dip into the contemporary folk scene. There is some amazing stuff there.

Great place. One of my favourites.
