Paphos Life

That is worrying, poor foxes and other wildlife. I am envious though that you got to see one up close and get a photo. The few times I have seen a fox they've just been quickly running across the road. Just for you, Ams, the next day the male fox appeared at my garden and I got him just after it wa...

That is worrying, poor foxes and other wildlife. I am envious though that you got to see one up close and get a photo. The few times I have seen a fox they've just been quickly running across the road. Last time I got photos from foxes was 2018, however in the wild, here at their home with the moth...

A clear sign that we are having a water problem this year when a fox is so thirsty that it is not afraid to come to my pool late morning to have a drink... https://up.picr.de/49601900ji.jpg It had even no problem when I opened the sliding door to get the pic done !!!! Foxes appear every year at nigh...

As there were problems all day with the site, I was not able to do it.....just wanted to post a better link

That sounds dramatic. It just means it looks like somebody is doing a DDOS attack on the server, and specifically the forum. There are over 3000 active connections, which is obvious skullduggery. "If there is a downtime, that is why. Normal service will resume as soon as possible etc. I am not...

It looks like Summer temperatures will affect us also in Paphos district the next few days with more than 30c. I was hoping that a couple of days ago the rain front in the afternoon will bring some relaxation from the drought at my area, just above Paphos, but..... No :roll: :roll: It was only thund...

It must have been really hard for Harry Kane to watch his clubs performance without him taking part as he was banned with a 5th yellow card to play. However Bayern Munich reached a 3:3 in Leipzig without him and secured the title 2024/25 with 8 points and 30 goal difference to second Leverkusen, wit...

Happy Easter WHL.

I am looking forward to visit the countryside joining big family feast of several hours with traditional BBQ as I am invited as usual from the owner of Green Air, this time at the house of his wife's parents with lovely views of the Evretou Dam.

While one can see now without all the water, how much sedimentation happened in the last 43 years since the dam was built, I wonder how much real capacity is left. I am quite sure that it is much less than originally designed with 53.350.000 m3. Perhaps if Water Authorities are quick with solutions ...

Well, it would reduce the need for the EAC to generate electricity from fossil fuels. That after all, is where the main cost is incurred, isn't it? Exactly Dominic, and by the way: the net-metering system is the best idea they had at the Gov. and the reason for many people is to install PV not for ...

Well, snow appeared in the mountains, but not only on the highest peaks as my other post shows. This will be certainly good fo dams as it keeps the rivers from the mountains running a longer time. Hopefully it reaches also the dams in the Paphos district. The amount of rain (at my place) was not tha...

I already mentioned in a different post the possibility of snowfall on Sunday.... and here we are

Many people moan that in the past Cyprus was so much different as you could have left windows and doors open over night or your car in front of the house left open with the car key in the lock all week long without fears of any theft. It is all different nowadays.... NO! not really in my opinion. Ju...

Finally Parliament approved bill for electricity storage yesterday to TSO (transmission system operator) which is most important for our grid stability to avoid problems we have recently to get more "green" PV-electricity installed. Here the most important part of the article in CM: "...

Good Day Max So basically our outage is somewhat exceptional for 4 hours at a time . We will monitor over the coming month to get an average . So basically , if I understand correctly , when the demand will increase during the Summer with AC's and such like being used , then our supply to the grid ...

Another cold snap is effecting Cyprus over the weekend, with rain (would be good!) wind and even snow or sleet in the mountains on Sunday :roll: Rain would be good for the dams however cold and windy again is not that exciting for me. Here image from wetteronline.de for Sunday afternoon, showing in ...

Also EAC started to install so called smart meters to have a better control of their grid in order to avoid too high voltage and getting stable frequency. In response to a change in frequency, inverters are configured to change their power output to restore the standard frequency. Does this mean th...

Well, these month in spring the grid at the moment cannot cope with the amount of electricity coming from photovoltaic modules, specially when there is also windy conditions and full sunshine(and wind farms also producing)while there is no big load from households with air conditioning like in summe...
