Bremen, Famagusta, Nicosia acyprusproperty
7:38 pm
what a heart breaker last night…..2 – 0 up and it looked like Famagusta were on there way to the knock out stages of the Champions League…but it wasn’t to be…… for now at least but we live to fight another day.
The 1st half finished 0-0 with Bremen having 60% of the possesion but unable to break through the Anorthosis defence. The match was staged at the National Stadium (GSP) in Nicosia as the home ground in Larnaca would have sold out three fold. A win last night would have guaranteed a place in the knock out stage…..Larnaca was very quiet early last evening (although kick off wasn’t until 10pm local time) anticipation was very high…..but the Germans came out at full speed, determined to do better than in the first game….but it wasn’t to be.
Gossip in the pub suggested that if we could survive to half time we would make it. !!!!
What a second half !! 1-0 then suddenly 2-0…..fantastic the blue hools were on a roll….. everyone was out of their seats pinching ourselves as we looked forward to the draw and wondered if it would be Barca, Man U or Chelsea in the next round……..oh how things changed…..Poor defending and exhaustion seemed to be the main culprits as Anorthosis threw their 2-0 lead away as quickly as they gained it…2-2 in a matter of minutes…..4 minutes of added time seemed to go on for ever, but at the final whistle the Germans were mighty releivedthey had clawed their way back into the match and the mighty men form Famagusta fell to the pitched – exhausted. They had chased and hurried all game and briefly it looked like they were through, better defending and they might have been….but still the dream continues……to be concluded next month…..STAY HAPPY….

Famagusta, Flamingo's, Larnaca, Oroklini, Salt Lake acyprusproperty
3:22 pm
only for one morning so far this winter……
Yes friday morning did bring the immersion heater in to play but only briefly as the temeperatures have popped back up to 23-24 degrees during the day with plenty of sunshine to boot. However, we did have a tremendous storm on Saturday afternoon, but we need these on a daily basis to start to begin to replenish our empty reservoirs and disappearing water table.
The brief rains have brought the flamingo’s back to Larnaca’s salt lakes and the wetlands near Oroklini. A most welcome winter sight, all dark and grey when they arrive it takes only a few weeks for their feathers to turn a bright vivid pink, thanks to the famous waters around the Airport….
Champions league again this week…excitment building in these parts again….here we go …
Stay Happy and bravo Famagusta !!!!!!

Bond, Federal, Germany, Immersion Heater, Jaguar XF acyprusproperty
3:04 pm
Here we are well into the second half of November and we still haven’t had the need for the electric immersion heater for hot showers in the morning. Much cloudier today so it probabaly wouldn’t be too much longer before the switch is thrown..to guarantee hot water in the morning…..
England v Germany at Association Football tonight - Much has been written that friendlies are pointless, especially at this point in the season and with Champions League football looming next week. However, Blighty and the Federal Republic have had ther up’s and down’s in the past and….. Is it ever a friendly and is it ever pointless when these two come together on the football pitch ??? Answers on a postcard please…
Went to see the latest Bond “Quantum of Solace” on Monday…bit disappointing really….bring back Q and more of the Jaguar XF please…the new Bond girl was REALLY wooden in the opening scenes but got better the more messed up she got. And from the missues point we only saw Bond with out his shirt the once I think…better luck next time Mrs Broccoli……………..

Cumulus Clouds, Imersion Heater, Portfolio, PROPERTY NEWS _ TODAY acyprusproperty
6:10 pm
Its half 5 and its been pitch black for what seems like forever, its probably only been 30-40 minutes but thats the Winter for you. Its been another great day though, the calm after the storms and rain of yesterday.
Too warm really for this time of the year but bright blue skies and some outstanding cloudscapes; great huge pillows of fluffy white cotton wool cumulus and towering thunder clouds (that came to nothing today). Yesterdays rain meant the shower was a bit parky this morning, still surviving on the free hot water from the solar panels…what a simply great invention. they are. Mid November and no need for the immersion heater….marvellous.

Breman, Champions League, Famagusta, Germans, Italians acyprusproperty
4:34 pm
Ooops nearly two weeks since last logged on… mourning for our beloved Anorthosis…
However we still have ALL to play for and only the Germans from Bremen stand in the way of the Blue Hools setting more Cypriot footballing history. Last weeks game in Nicosia against Milan was a spectacle in itself!! 3-3 was the final score with the mighty Italians having to work hard for their point. Its a distinct possibility the boys from Famagusta will be through to the knock out stages of the Champions League…..what a fantastic result that would be… here’s hoping…
The extremely conservative and very boring English language newspaper The Cyprus Weekly celebrates 30 years in business and its 1500 issue this week with a re-vamp and a re-launch…..and my word it is long over due… In the press release that came with last weeks edition it talks of offering …”even more … independent coverage of the main local and international news” that makes me smile because turn to ANY of the pages covering International news and its all simply cut a pasted, copied from either AP or Reuters..so much for indenpent coverage…Still the new papr cannot e any worse than its current product….here’s to next week… but don’t hold your breath….still after 30 years they must be pleasing some …. just not me ..and anyone I know…
Last time I put finger to keyboard we had had two consecutive days of rain, we had not seen any rain none since then, until this morning. Larnaca and indeed most of the country was subject to a spectacular thunderstorm which lasted most of the morning. So heres to more regular postings to improve our winter rain fall…
More tomorrow…..PS here are the dreadful English language newspapers we have to suffer…
Stay happy
