- Ok.. so nearly done. Here we are, an exclusive, unique commercial opportunity in Cyprus for let: This is the view of the front of the shop... As if you were walking up the street. This is the view to the side street. This is the entrance for the upstairs part, currently separate from downstairs but that's negotiable. more

- So I'm finishing the drawings for the building today... this is as far as I've got so far. I'll see how much I get done by 6pm!! Still no takers for a tenancy? I could do you a deal on both floors.... There's a coffee shop just next door with the best baklava and tiropitta (cheese pastries) this side of Lebanon. In the mornings, you hear the... more

- ..or just one French. And she's not invading so much as coming to stay. Yes, mummy MonkeyPie will be on Cypriot soil after only 4 hours of delay. Trouble is, MonkeyPie Snr and Jnr were all set to rush off to Larnaca at 3:30pm to be ready to pick her up in our flash tin on wheels. It had been scrubbed and polished, filled up with the finest... more

- all change in Nicosia

- Cyprus is an ancient country packed with history. In the sense that nearly every mediterranean based empire (since about 4th C bc) has invaded and ruled for a short while. Their presence is marked by their style in building (still evident in the numerous ruins and surviving artefacts) including the old city walls of Nicosia. These are wonderful... more

- This weekend saw Daddy Monkeypie and myself drive off to Kyrenia for the weekend. After an uncharacteristic energetic decision to go for an early morning jog, we went to the Hurricane coffee shop for a turkish cypriot coffee and a 'croissant'. Now, when you or I hear croissant, we immediately think of continental breakfasts and the buttery,... more

- Where heaven is found in the Shia mountains Daddy MonkeyPie and I set out to replenish our culture metre which has been sinking a little low lately. Cyprus hardly ever has live music let alone classical music of any reasonable repute. It does, however, have very good bouzouki and classical guitar which I personally love as it reminds me of... more

- Hmm.. two blogs in one day. Both at work.. Well, my sections are a little difficult, mostly because I'm meant to be indicating two directional inclines. Which is a bugger on 2D.. that, and it's Friday and I'm a little tired. Also it'll be the weekend tomorrow and I'll be off to Kyrenia to laze about in hammocks, drinking cold beer and to swim in... more

- A whole line of events discovered from one simple *snap*: Late for work again, shit.. couldn't wake up this morning, mostly because I hadn't set my alarm but also because I've been sleeping really badly. Ghosts of past memories wait until night to resurface and enlarge grotesquely into weird parallel dimensions. I can't wipe them from my mind... more

- Today was a holiday.. I spent the morning drinking turkish cyprus coffee with the tenants of the shop bequeathed to my brother and I. Trying my best to look young and fertile in order to remind them that life does go on and with the tenants at 75-85 years old, I had the upper hand as far as using the shop is concerned. You see, they're refusing... more
