Re: Prostate Problems

Good luck with all of this. People in our area (Polis) use a small number of English-trained nurses who provide post-operative care. There is also a company which provides a similar service. Whether they offer services in your area is not known. If you would like details, please pm me,

GESY pathologist

My cardiologist wants me to consul a pathologist (under GESY) to discuss diabetes’ issues. Can anyone recommend someone local? I would appreciate it. And I would prefer not to go anywhere near Paphos General.

Just about the funniest thing I’ve seen

I’d never heard of Jeff Dunham before but he somehow appeared on my YouTube feed. His video “Meet Achmed the dead terrorist” was in desperately bad taste and absolutely hilarious. He is apparently credited with rescuing the ventriloquist’s art in the USA. His puppets transcend the art. If you are no...

Could you put the Google photos app on the iPad?
I’ll look into that. But the “sendanywhere” route, as suggested above, works seamlessly but you just never know. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Sharing photos confusion …

Hi, the "send anywhere" app is available on all devices and will transfer files from and too any device. I have used it for a long time and it is safe and very good. Both devices need to be on the same network. The app is free. Thank you for that. I’ll investigate it. My wife will no doub...

Sharing photos confusion …

My darling wife’s phone is dying and she needs another one. She would like to share the photos she takes on her phone and send them to her iPad. But there seems no easy and seamless way to do it. She can’t afford an iPhone and Android phones seem to be locked out of the Apple ecosystem. The various ...

Re: Thin skin which bruises and tears

This is a known side effect of corticosteroids. I know the problem only too well as I had to take them for a number of years. Believe me, from experience, the skin problems are minor, compared to the skeletal ones. Three of my vertebrae have fractured (two thoracic and one pelvic), fortunately with...

It was reported in the run-up to the presidential elections that it was “hoped” to increase the allowance to €25000. Watch out for pigs overhead.

Thin skin which bruises and tears

In the last few months I have found that the skin on my arms bruises very easily and also tears. Research suggests this is a common problem as you age. I spoke to my personal doctor and she has referred me to a dermatologist. I suspect retinoids my be prescribed. Has anyone else suffered from this a...

Re: Water dispenser conundrum

I have a water dispenser, and find it very convenient. You can buy plastic water containers for 20ltrs, but also smaller ones of 15 or 10 litres. Obviously the 10 litre container is much lighter. Would that make a difference to you? If you could manage to lift the lightest one, it would dramaticall...

Water dispenser conundrum

Like many people we have been trying to reduce our use of plastic. Plastic bags are reused, and we have mesh bags for vegetables which we take to the supermarket. But, still, we end up with mountains of one and a half litre water bottles. Our domestic water supply upsets my equilibrium, and so we ha...

Import Tax?

Our daughter inadvertently took Ann’s favourite shawl back to the UK after a recent visit here. She decided to knit her another one and sent them both back with a £0.99 colouring book via DHL. We then received a text telling us we owed €19 + in import duty and VAT.

Quite unbelievable.

Thank you. I had read about that collar but couldn’t find it anywhere. I don’t know whether you are anywhere near Polis, but I can send you directions to our vet. I think I may have found him.

Re: Rain is on the way, along with drop in temperature

Where did you buy the calm collar? Our dog has same problem. Our vet, Yiaanis, in Polis supplied it. It is called “Adaptil Calm Collare”, and the writing on the box is -I think - Italian. Thank you.

Our dog Daisy hates thunder, twin cabs, shotguns etc. we tried various medications which had some effect eventually. Last month our vet recommended a “calm collar” and so far, so good. It needs to be changed monthly. Where did you buy the calm collar? Our dog has same problem. Our vet, Yiaanis, in ...
