Paphos Life

Exactly Trev. Luckily, we didn't have much money in our BOC account at the time of the haircut, but if it had been a few years earlier, when we were paying for our house, we would have been affected.

Lets hope they get full compensation. It affected a few people who had proceeds from house sales taken, before they were transferred to the UK.

We did the original yellow slip, MEU1 ourselves. However, this time we have gone through an agent, partly because documents required seem to be changing. We now need repatriation insurance, which we got through Atlantic. We're using Peter Savvas. Luckily our marriage certificate had been Apostilised...

Glad that you are OK Max. Try to ignore negative comments. I know it's difficult and I stopped mentioning a certain firm in my posts for a time. As for the mayor and deputy, both have done a brilliant job in modernising Paphos and bringing it into the 21st century and it cleaner than ever.

I'm going into Greenair some time next week so will ask if he's OK. Great that people on here notice if a regular poster has been absent for a while.

Dr Aspros at Evangelimos did Rosemary's knee replacement. Would recommend him. He also took xrays of Rosemary's back and said she would need to see a neuro surgeon, but did say he would not recommend back surgery, but treat with physio instead. We know he is a really good surgeeon. Locals will tell ...

We enjoyed it, even though I made negative comments after watching the first episode. Sally Lindsey was brilliant, and typical of a northener. She is in a couple more Channel 5 series, which we will watch. We have also enjoyed the Madame Blanc series. Good, light entertainment.

Not the best script ever but people do get conned whilst on holiday, as they leave their brains at home. When we were having our propery problems, and were members of a property action group, we heard some horror stories including cases where properties have been double sold, or the developer has cl...

We topped up both of our phones with €5 because of the new, 6 month rule, but both are now showing expiry dates for 12 months. Thanks JB for the *110# and then 'green phone/dial.

Ignore the 181 and 281 readings. I keep an exel spreadsheet of our consumption and production, and how much I've exported to the grid. For example, on 23/1 the meter reading on 182 was 8497.1. 24 hours later it was 8507.8.Therefore I had consumed 10.7 Kwh through the meter. The same period, the mete...

Express Pete. Next time your app is showing zero production, see if you are exporting anything to the grid. Turn off any appliances that use huge amounts of electric, such as ovens, aircon etc and take an export meter reading. Then, after a couple of hours of zero production on your app, take anothe...

We have a Solar Edge Invertor and use the Solar Edge App, both in the UK and in Cyprus. In Cyprus, our app will show zero production. If you go outside to the Invertor it also shows zero production and showing a fault. It tries to connect to the grid and goes through a countdown, firstly 60 seconds,...

Sorry, ignore what I wrote before. I forgot to take readings the previous day. Sorry. Another senior moment.

We have had both covid booster and our flu jabs. Also asked our doctor about a shingles vaccine and had that last week, one month after our flu jab. I remember my mum getting shingles and she was really ill and in a lot of pain which lasted years.

22c in our house with just the 1 aircon unit, set at 23c heating the whole downstairs. Our LG invertor units are brilliant and consume very little electricity for both heating or cooling. So far it has been the mildest winter we have experienced in Cyprus and the driest since the early noughties.

Merry Christmas Dominic and thanks for another year of Paphos Life and the sister Facebook pages. Hope you have enjoyed your day.

Went out on my bike today. Hard work riding against the wind, even with electric assistance. Rode from Anarita to the dam and then down to the coast at Mandria. Three laps of Mandria and then back to Anarita. 20 miles in total. P1060271.jpg Was very surprised as to how low the water level was. Will ...

Lost power on 2 phases around 7:30pm. For the last two weeks our solar edge invertor has been cutting out around 1:30pm and trying to connect to the grid, going through a coundown of 60 secs, failing to connect, 120 secs and increasing each time it fails to connect. There is no fault on the invertor...

Think it could be owned by the municipality. Was told by the deputy mayor that the toilets there were public ones.

We have done well so far this Autumn. For the past 3 winters we have kept cosy and warm with our aircon units on heat and a couple of oil filled radiators just for a boost. Cost, minimum with our pv panels. Biggest bill so far, €120 and this included heating our pool. We have plenty of electricity i...
