Sunny in Cyprus
Posted: Monday, 10 November 2008 |
Hello Bloggers!
I'm sneaking this wee one in as I've been missing you all on my travels. I couldn't resist island life for long so I've recolonised Cyprus for Islandblogging. Look, I've planted our flag so it's official! How long will it take IBHQ to add us to the list to islands?
Do we get a Southern Isles page? This corner of Paphos is going to be Scottish for quite some time.
The neighbours are lovely, Scottish on both sides so the coloniseation is going well and as the Spanish branch of the Fank went so well this year we thought this would make a good venue for Fank 2009. I hope the Arran Viking Association hav been practicing, it should only take the a couple of weeks to get here now they've got the sail up. Better book your places now to avoid dissapointment.
As you can see we have already set up the dip for Donald so the ladies can get close this year without catching something nasty.
I must thank Natures Hairdryer for keeping us posted as to the weather at home and the vagueries of Cal Mac. Oddly the weather hasn't affected the ferries here yet.
It's a chilli 26 degrees at the moment brrr so we are battening down the hatches too, I retrieved the inflatable toys from the pool this weekend while it's still hot enough to dry my cossie in a couple of minutes while I lay in the sun. It's murder!
Obviously any bloggers visiting our newest and furthest outpost are welcome to visit, just let me know when you're landing. Calumannabelle, grab Annie Beag and start peddeling your peddalo!
P.S. I had to change the last word as the moderator didn't get it.

Nice to read your cheery report, Sunny, it seems you are making a great go of life in the Med. region. Too much sun there for my tastes, but chacun a son gout, as Mehitabel used to say in days gone by. Bye!
Barney from Swithiod sunning it
Are you no longer in Spain, but rather in Paphos, Sunny? For a while, you say? Take care.

Sunny!!! At last..to be honest all hope of hearing from you was fading. Seems you are having a rhum doo over there and have obviously lost your luggage overboard, poor lass with only a cozzie for comfort. I shall set mother to knitting you a more substancial woollen long legged cozzie and of course some socks and a balaclava. I shall despatch these before Christmas along with your copy of 'Lofty peak..I know you will never survive without your clootie dumplin'. Bestest to fellow sufferers and should they require any traditional goods tell them to send requests via pidgeon post..I have now trained the cats NOT to eat them!! Cheerie
GrannyE from Gettin ready to launch the life boats
Blimey GrannyE, how did you manage THAT???
Flying Cat from never knowingly trained to do anything
D#MN !! Gone again (not Sunny,but the comment that was supposed to get GrannyE to dive for her shotgun!)!! # What, by the way, is "clootie dumplin"?
mjc from IN, USA
Also gone, my culinary hints and tips for mjc...

Cheers Granny! The temperature has dropped to a brassic 23 celcius now so I could do with a cossie in 4 ply with longer legs nd an extra pocked in the skirt please. I've just been chatting to a good friend in the Arran Cleansing Department. He told me that the house I was evicte from to make way for holiday lets is still lying empty 18 months on... Can you believe that? With the shortage in housing on the island? See www.hifar.co.uk

Eyup Sunny did you get your book, I left it with the Vikings in Corrie in July, they were gonna pass it on to Julie Gurr
Steve Rudd from Huddersfield (not Cyprus or Arran, sadly)
Oh no I didn't get it! I shared a plane to Cyprus with Julie in August and she didn't mention it, maybe she hasn't seen the vikings? She's started a Masters at Durham Uni so is off the island for the next year. I'll ask around. Can you remember which viking you left it with?
