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 to move out although I've already put the plans through to extend the shops. In fact, I'm working on the designs in the architecture office this summer. In Cyprus, long let tenants have practical ownership rights. Which is a pain in the arse and terribly unfair after we've been so nice to them by not raising the rent much as they're so old. Surely it's the retirement age soon?!

Anyway.. they were amiable enough and I then spent the majority of the day lazing at the pool. trying to beat my length and a half underwater record... fun but not so fun when you're dodging tumbling kiddies and hairy adolescent legs.

Then my evening run.. an hour today and I didn't feel too tired. This is the sunset I grabbed before I drove home:
