Living the Dream - 26. Rain? Where did that come from?

Rain? Where did that come from? The sky, obviously. Winter My memory of rain here was of spectacular electrical storms, followed by beautiful clear days, the air feels thin and crisp, where before the storm it was soggy and heavy. Cypriot rain is mostly polite, falling predominantly at night. It

Living the Dream - 20. Nightmare

London Mine is the easy nightmare. I had got to the airport, and killed time in departures. As the aircraft took off, I was waiting for a message indicating whether Nero had survived emergency surgery. We had adopted Nero at 12 weeks old, and shared our lives with him for
