Paphos Life

For several years now we have been watching: Chicago Fire Chicago PD Chicago Med There are about 20 episodes per series. We've enjoyed them. We've also watched, and enjoyed: Law & Order SVU The Resident Line of Duty Boardwalk Spiral (French thriller with sub titles) Ray Donovan Homeland Blue Blo...

Have to say that our village is lovely and quiet, just the sound of the tractors, and farm workers, and the occasional walker. With this beautiful weather there's no place I'd rather be.

Agree with you Trev and WHL, we felt silly at first wearing masks but not any more...

We do the same WHL and will probably continue to do it for the foreseeable future until a vaccine is available. Even before this happened flights were always a risk for vulnerable people with the amount of people flying whilst suffering from colds, flu, etc. Two of our neighbours (separate household...

Thanks for posting, Devil. It reminds me of when we first came to live in Cyprus 16 years ago and a friend from work wanted to come and visit. I said I wasn't too sure of the route from Lanarca (where she was landing) to Paphos. She replied that it was no problem, that she would get a train to Papho...

HIC - we phoned Brian at Computer SOS late last week to enquire about a ink cartridge for the printer we bought from them. He was very sorry but the shop is closed and he agreed with us that we would be best ordering from Amazon, which we duly did and it arrived by courier a week later.

Apologies, I must have received out of date info., which is to be expected as she hasn't been out of the house for over 3 weeks.

Already tackled the garden. It looks like I may have to start on one of the 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles and, for me, that's really scraping the barrel! I agree, Trev, not good when your appliances blow up. At least we can still have our once a day exercise, and the weather is absolutely glorious, so i...

Ah, shame, that was my only bit of excitement when going shopping once in a while, to check out the non-food items while my OH shopped so we could buy items keep ourselves occupied with jobs at home. However, I can see the reasoning behind it. According to my sister-in-law her local B & Q in the...

We use face masks and gloves just before we go into the supermarket, use the sanitiser provided and then bin our gloves in the bins provided as soon as we come out. With regard to the face masks, can't really comment knowledgeably, but we do know they make other people feel more comfortable when the...

Apologies if this has been posted before.

We have just watched what we consider to be a very good film, called Dark Waters. IMDb will give the story line.

We had one of the bright green ones our frangipani plant on the front patio. It lived there for about 6 months, then just before the cold weather came it started to look a bit scruffy and brown. Several days later we found a skin sac and thought it may have shedded it's skin. We saw it again a coupl...

We bought ours on Ebay quite some time ago but only bought a few because at that time they were thought not to be particularly effective. We wear them + gloves when we go into supermarkets because, apart from anything else, I think it makes other people feel more comfortable IMHO.

Wasn't it yesterday that the Cyprus Mail published an article by an 'expert' who said that Cyprus could be reaching its peak. Maybe this prompted some folks to assume that it was OK to go out now. Daft!

Where we live we have had very low humidity for the past two weeks, and we have both suffered from irritating coughs throughout the day and night. The humidity levels have now risen, the coughs have gone and we feel much more comfortable. Neither of us suffer from chest ailments. However, we're not ...

We also went for a walk yesterday in the vicinity of our house. Luckily we have countryside behind us so we didn't see a soul, and the spring flowers were a joy to see.

I wanted to renew my passport using DHL but have decided to put it on hold as we're not going anywhere soon, and I'd rather have an out of date passport than none at all, if it got lost in transit either to or from the UK.

I think the next few days will be interesting as there are some slightly hysterical posts being put on FB about having to complete forms, send SMS' giving the reason for leaving home and being sent to jail if you do not comply. This may all be true but appear to be adding to the confusion because of...

Thanks Dee. I was wondering if there was a native Greek speaker on this forum who could give an actual translation/meaning.

I don't want to open up a can of worms here, and we are wholly supportive of the measures being taken. Having read the Cyprus Mail today which gives an English version of the President's speech of last night, we're wondering how to interpret the statement regarding exercise, i.e. "exercising an...
