Wednesday 16th January
Glorious Day - still cool in the evening so fire needed at 6.00pm.  If having a late shower sun enough to heat the water - spring most definitely feels like it has arrived - let's hope so!

Tuesday 15th January

I built a snowman today - although it was more like an iceman.  Grey and miserable today but we managed to get out and have a walk down on the coast.

Thursday 20th December
The weather today was the worst I have ever known anywhere.  Torrential rain, hail and snow has left this part of the island flooded - this has happened so much earlier than it did last year - everyone seems to be suffering with water damage.

Started out brightly enough and I put washing out but it deteriorated quickly so became wet and miserable.  Apparently the first snow was on the Troodos yesterday.  Gas fire only again tonight.

Tuesday 11th December
Fine and bright - quite cool but dry.  Making do with the gas fire today as John wants to empty the gas bottle.  It's ok but not as cosy as the wood burner.

Monday 10th December
Very wet and windy with thunder, lightning and hail thrown in!

Sunday December 9th
A much better day than forecast - dry and warm.  Fire lit this evening as it cools significantly by 5.00pm.

Thursday November 29th
A very much more pleasant day than we were anticipating and we all got very hot working in the Orexi garden.  We ate lunch outside in the garden!!  Just enough sun to heat the water (although I like it hotter!!).  Fire lit at 5.00pm for an hour.

Wednesday November 28th
Indifferent day in Droushia but lovely at Neo Chorio at craft.  Gas fire lit at 5.30pm.

Tuesday November 27th
Glorious day spent on the beach and swimming in the sea although cool in the house tonight so gas fire on at 4.30 to warm us up!

Monday November 26th
Only 10 degrees outside at 7.30am.  Dry and bright day but temperature had dropped considerably.  Cold at 4.00pm in the house today so fire on!!

Sunday November 25th
Another glorious day.  A day in the garden.  No immersion needed.  Fire on at 5.45 to take the chill off.

Thursday November 22nd
Happy Birthday Richard!!!  Stormy and cool today - most of day spent in Paphos

Wednesday November 21st
The weather this morning was awful - rain and a rolling mist so that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.  Fortunately it improved and we all caught the sun whilst outside olive picking.  Cold when the sun went in but it is mid November after all!!

Tuesday November 20th
A beautiful day in Peristerona where we were olive picking all day!!  Rain tonight and a powercut - deep joy!

A beautiful day in all respects!

Friday November 16th
A lovely day with a warm wind - just right for lunch at Oniros

Wednesday November 14th
Another bright day - no immersion and no heating tonight - BONUS!!!!

Tuesday November 13th
Another glorious day spent down in Paphos Christmas Shopping!!!!  Bizarre experience in 26 degrees and the staff in Carrefour wearing santa hats!!

Monday November 12th
A glorious day - so lovely that we were able to eat outside at Oniros lunchtime.  Clear skies mean cold nights though! Gas Fire required for an hour tonight to take the chill off the lounge.

Sunday November 11th
A warmer and brighter day today with some warmish sunshine.  The temperature has plummeted tonight and at 6.00pm it is a chilly 12 degrees outside.  We have needed the gas fire on this evening for an hour or so to take the chill off of the lounge - not sure about how much hot water there is going to be and as we both want a shower I have put the immersion on for 30 minutes.

Saturday November 10th
Drier today but cold wet and windy.  Tonight the storm clouds are gathering.  No chance of any solar powered hot water today.

Thursday 25th October
Two months until Christmas Day!!!  Pretty miserable and for the first time we needed the immersion on for a half hour to ensure we had hot showers - bloody winter is on its way!

Stormy today - heavy rains and thunder and lightning but still enough sunshine for hot water.  Cool this evening only 14 degrees outside.

Monday 22nd October
Much much cooler start to the day - thought the immersion might be required but water ok.  Lightning all round this evening and a chillier 16 degrees outside at 9.00pm

Sunday 21st October
Not such a nice day here today - started rightly enough but by lunchtime the clouds had bubbled up and it became windy and chilly - perhaps that rain Angela talked about is on the way after all.

Droushia Ladies Lunch Day and not such a bad day as we had anticipated.  Sufficient sun to heat the water by 11.00am and bright but cloudy with rain threatening but never came.  Swimming Pool temperature plunged to 68 degrees - it is officially too cold to swim in it now!!!

A bright start but it deteriorated into a right miserable afternoon and evening - thunder, lightning and more and more rain - at 6.00pm it was a chilly 15 degrees outside.

Tuesday 9th October
No rain today - cloudy and cool but we managed to work outside and there was more than enough hot water for a shower.

Monday 8th October
We awoke to overcast skies and rolling thunder - electricity going on and off with a major cut for an hour lunchtime - also reduced water pressure.  Swimming pool temperature steady at 72 degrees unbelievably!

Sunday 7th October
Bright start to the day but it descended into carnage as we had flash flooding and thunder and lightning - realised that the drain on the flat roof was blocked and the roof was about eight inches deep in standing water - deep joy!

Saturday 6th October
The thunderstorm of all thunderstorms today.  Waterbutt went from empty to full in a very short time - a reminder of what we have to come in winter!

Friday 5th October
A completely different day to yesterday - a fine bright start and sunshine all day.

After a period of normal hot weather the humidity has returned and with overcast and heavy skies it looks a bit like rain and there is moisture in the air.  It is only 26 degrees outside at 6.00pm but 32 degrees indoors with high humidity.  If we are going to have iffy weather then sobeit - get it over and done with now before Hazel arrives.

Thursday July 26th
The odd humid weather continues - everything is soaking wet and we have resorted to putting the dehumidifier on again.

Wednesday July 25th

Tuesday July 24th
Hot and sticky yet again

Monday July 23rd
Hot sticky and thundery - apparently we avoided torrential rain yesterday.  Rumour has it that it is about to get very very much hotter - DAMN

Tuesday June 26th

Wednesday 22nd February
