Perhaps I'm yearning for the traditional "violi and laouti" weddings of a past era, maybe I'm just old fashioned or simply have not moved on, steeped in the past and the many happy memories of village weddings that lasted 3 days !!

I recently attended a family wedding, although the start. before the church, was very traditional with a violin and a laouto, the stolisma of nymfi, thoroughly enjoyable and promising of what was to come. Alas, what came was noise deafening unpleasant to the ear English music inflicted upon us by a couple of DJs sporting those ugly dirty looking beards that most young Cypriots now have, I hate beards either on men or women !!

I made my excuses and departed early before irreparable damage to my eardrums.

On another occasion, a wedding at a rather posh hotel. thoroughly nontraditional and a bore.Here's your envelope, na zisete, a nibble or two at the nontraditional food on offer, a glass of mediocre wine and bobs your uncle!

I consider the Greek music to be the finest and most enjoyable "Ylenti " and dancing music in the entire universe. No other music can create the atmosphere that Greek music does, a tsifteteli, a sirto, a zeimbekiko, all thoroughly enjoyable and "danceable".

Youngsters now getting married seem to prefer English music, ever that horrid disgusting rapping stuff, even the bloody Greeks rap!!

What an ugly sound they make too. There is no class, no sophistication just jungle crap.

Back to the beards now. Anyone knows why the young Cypriots have these unsightly ugly whiskers on their faces ?
Do they perhaps consider beards as fashionable? Well they are if you are in a third world Islamic country but not in Cyprus for crying our ....very loud!!

In 9 days I shall be in Limassol, I swear that I too will ...grow a horrid beard!!!

My very young and beautiful ...floozy will be joining me in Cyprus on the 28th. She has a multi- entry visa for a year, so watch this space.

Living on your own has certain advantages but 7 days a week, each week each month and you find your self talking to the local pussies, 4 cats that visit me each day, all belonging to neighbours, and all rather gorgeous and well fed.

They are nowhere to be seen today as my son is away and I have Lennie, our large and very lovely Mastiff/ Rockweiler , such a placid and obedient dog, we "stole" him about 3 years ago when Max our Boxer had to be put down.

Lennie was tied up day and night outside a caravan, all skin and bone, its owner an Irish navvy, we felt for the dog and one evening we rescued him. He is now a picture of health, took to training so quick, and he is very grateful and loves his bedroom

I love my wines, my animals, my birds, and my ....floozy

I hate Cypriot weddings with all that tradition and the music is pox inmho.

Hate weddings in Church as well. Prefer beach, park or something interesting like maybe a little medieval heritage listed Chapel (yes I love these Churches) in rural Cyprus or Greece.

I prefer simplicity!
