School Readiness and BBQ!

Here we are on Monday...the kids start the new school on Wednesday.

First stop of the day was into the school to get their school uniforms. The uniform is very similar (in colour) to a rival school in our hometown, so needless to say, it doesn't go down well with the kids.

S gets PE two days a week, and on those days she gets to go to school in her PE kit. At least that takes away some of the struggle of getting her to wear it. Also, the fact that the skirt is a skirt and not a skort doesn't go down well. She will maybe wear a pair of shorts underneath, to make it feel like a skort.

After the school run we headed to the bookshop and got all their school books. There is one main bookshop that does all the school books Kyriakou Full Page Bookshops. The shop also has a good selection of stationary, arts and crafts stuff etc.

Next up was the butcher. We headed to Butcher Boy, where they have a great selection of meats and other delicatessen products. We came away with some good cuts of steak, sausages, chicken legs, chicken kebabs, minced beef, basically everything we could do with for this afternoons BBQ! I was getting hungry just walking round the shop looking at it all.

After the butcher, it was onto the baker, Papantoniou, there was one on the way back to Tala in Tremithousa, picked up some bread rolls, and cakes for pud.

Time to get the last of the things ready for the guest arriving in about an hour.

Our visitors were the crowd from Doha, who were over in Cyprus for the Eid holiday. so perfect for a reunion since we left a couple of months ago. 

The weather was perfect, food and booze was flowing and crowd were on usual top form! Everyone chilling below after food...must have been late on, as moved onto spirits good old Vodka and Irn-Bru! Kids had fun in the pool, and ended up with a couple of them [the kids] staying over night, and will drop them back at their hotel in the morning.
