Oracle I was interesting to read a previous recipe for lemonade by slicing the lemons etc. My Cyp neighbour squeezes the juice, and then mixes it with cold sugar syrup ( home made). She also said that if you can add the juice of bitter oranges at a ratio of 1 orange to 10 lemons, then it tastes better!!! Last year I made lemon juice ice-cubes and added them to plain soda water - very refreshing!!

I know nothing but I would say it just seems to me that writing a (travel) book is a very plausible cover for intelligence gathering of another type for someone who worked at the GB High Commission and further that duty is terribly important to the Brit middle classes.



Something T.E. Lawrence used for his advantage in his fight against the Ottomans. Archeology and travel, he was good at).

Casanova used lemons as a spermicide (as a contraceptive) yet, the ancient Egyptians used crocodile faeces.
