We're about to buy some dosh to take with us, and it's pretty depressing, really, compared to what it used to be. TravelFX is 1.1014 and the Interbank rate 1.1134

There's not much chance of this changing significantly over the next few months. Those with pensions or limited funds will probably have to cut out a cocktail or two or tighten their belts. I can't tighten mine much without looking like a skeleton out of Raiders of the Lost Ark. For some, though, it could have benefits - I get a bit fed up with people telling me I need to put weight on when political-correctness enforces me to remain silent over their excess body mass.

Jimbo at our age we should just tell them as it is. Get their own house in order before having a go at others.

Rave reviews about the food and the changes made to Manthos Taverna. Does anyone know if the loungers are still out front, my favourite place to sun worship,and pop to the bar for a cold beer  8).

Couldn't agree more Winkie. 8)

Well Jimbo unless parliament gets its act together in some shape or form we will leave the EU without a deal as the default position at the end of October. And as its parliament which has got us into this mess along with the incompetent PM its they who will take the blame. We're unlikely to get an extension. Macron is 100% against that and why would they agree when the situation has got worse since the last extension.

A no deal will without doubt be problematic in the short-term but with 44% of our exports (£244 billion) going to the EU and 53% of our imports (£341 billion) coming from the EU the desire to get an agreement albeit temporary would be great on both sides.

Today's Sunday 19th and webcam has frozen again. The Nafsica webam however is showing a pretty dull day. Very little sun for May it seems.

Wow. Is it me or has May been crap everywhere. Lovely day yesterday but put the heating on for an hour in the evening to take the chill off. Brrrrr
This time last year we were cruising around the Med and it was gorgeous. Hey ho.

It won't be the same. It was always one of the old style taverna's much loved by visitors to San Stef. We will certainly miss it.
