aaaaagh !!

Woke up this morning to a loud buzzing noise... a large and evil-looking thing was trying to fly into my bedroom - I watched it get through the gap in the shutters, but thankfully it changed its mind and went away again. I'm pretty sure it was a hornet, as it looked a lot like this...


Third Greek lesson last night - it's finally starting to make sense, it's a very logical language. No class next week, as it's Easter.

I found this here, and laughed lots.


And, from yesterday's Cyprus News:

The Meteorological Services yesterday warned of high temperatures reaching up to 36 degrees and dust for the next three days.

"Unfortunately, the general circulation of the atmosphere helps in the transfer of dust from Africa," said Kyriacos Theophilou, Director of the Meteorological Service, adding however, that the dust appeared not to be very thick.

On Wednesday will be the peak of the weather for April, we will have a heat wave of 35-36 degrees. From Thursday the high temperature will begin to recede and by Easter Sunday the temperature will be back to normal for the season," he said.

So today's going to be a hot one - I'd better get out there and enjoy what may well be my last day of "freedom" :-)
