My hermit's lifestyle has been shaken up by the arrival of two friends from Edinburgh. The past week has been filled with beaches, driving and drink (not at the same time of course). Pleasantly different from my usual monastic routine although i am starting to miss it a little as I'm unable to go for runs when i want or continue with my projects... a brief hiatus, it'll be back to normal in a week!
We went to Salamis the other day, after a gruelling 3 hour drive through the Kyrenia mountains, we finally reached it and promptly had a swim (glorious)
then we visited the ruins, which is always fun- the lack of any safety precautions means you can clamber about on the ruins and not get stopped! 
Anyway, it's been a fun packed week, with another to follow. The benefit being that I have no time to be excessively introspective as I tend to be. I noticed from M's blog that he's travelling to Greece and Turkey. i'm wondering whether I should offer him the chance to come and see Cyprus while I'm here. Something tells me that he'll decline so I'm not sure I want the potential shame of rejection... but could it be an olive branch? I'm not sure.
I had a weird dream last night- It was a tangled three way love triangle. My ex, Blair (who orginally caused me much heartbreak) decided to become my flatmate, which was fine- there was no ill feeling and I discovered I felt nothing for him, then a family friend I used to have a massive crush on moved in opposite and we started a brief fling which was ended abruptly by the arrival of V, who i was supposedly seeing. Therefore I was cheating on him, quite blatantly but had no feelings of guilt, just irritation at having been interrupted. Methinks it's a sign that I maybe shouldn't consider taking him back (he's been asking me to recently). I don't know....
Anyway, that's it for now. I shall return soon.
