Re: A nip in the air

Nice picture. Glad we're here though.... I wore fleecy socks last night, and we've been talking about getting the winter clothes out very soon, and putting the electric blanket on!

Re: English Greetings cards

We also find Partymania expensive although their products are good. Euromania in Geriskipou have lots of cards at reasonable prices and a lot of the charity shops sell them too.

Re: Shower Stool/Seat conundrum?

When my wife was unable to stand in the shower we bought a three legged, triangular shaped stool from Amazon DE for our small shower cubicle. It worked very well as it slotted into the corner leaving quite a lot of space.

Has anyone heard what's the latest with regard to the crematorium. We've been keeping an eye on the Ayia Varvara industrial estate, where it was reportedly going to be constructed, but can't see any work being carried out......

Re: Storm

Like you, Lincoln, we have a gas hob. When we had our solar panels installed we were tempted to go all electric. Now glad that we didn't. There have been times in the past when our power cuts have been long. Having the hob meant we could boil a kettle and cook a meal......

Re: My cars headlights.

We had ours restored two weeks ago by Linda's Garage next to Lidl off the roundabout towards Mesogi. Took about half an hour and cost €50. We had tried doing it ourselves with several compounds but the result weren't particularly impressive and they soon reverted to the foggy state.

Re: Amazon/Cyprus

We still buy from Amazon DE but wait until we need a number of items with a cost of a couple of hundred Euros. We then place the order and pay for expedited delivery. This costs maybe 40 Euros and the goods come by courier within a couple of days.

Trev, We are sending emails to the Government office in Nicosia asking for an interview at Paphos Immigration office and asking this same question of them. So far no reply. That's why we've posted here, to gain from someone else's experience but definitely not to quote from Paphos Life......

Re: Is anyone offering the single covid vaccination?

Is anyone offering the single covid vaccination?

We've booked our autumn 'flu vaccination with our GP. We are also considering having our 6th covid vaccination. However, it appears that only combined 'flu and covid vaccinations are available at the General (word of mouth information). Does anyone know if you can still get them separately? Thanks

Re: High-speed transport

A friend from the UK booked to visit Cyprus and arranged a flight to Larnaca. Unfortunately we were unable to collect her from the airport. She said "not to worry, I can get the train" and was amazed to hear that Cyprus doesn't have a railway system.

Re: Recommendations for two nights away in Protaras

Thank you both for the information. Are there any nice tavernas/restaurants close by as I believe the walk into the centre of Protaras is about half an hour.
