Christmas was always going to be strange for many people this year, for some a little strange would be more than they could hope for of course but I'm staying away from the absolute sadness and horrors of the world like I've always done on my blog. I'm talking about the people I know and know off in Cyprus, those who would have traveled back to the UK, or elsewhere, those who were expecting family to come here, those who would have met friends for Christmas dinner in a restaurant, or had a large gathering at home. Our restrictions changed mid December and a 9 pm curfew came into place. Soon after all bars and restaurants had to close. We were allowed to have up to 10 people in our houses (but randomly only 2 people could meet outside). Most Christmas events had been cancelled, so no markets, school shows, parties etc. All the towns still put up the Christmas lights which were lovely to see as long as you were home by 9 pm. We went to Paralimni on Christmas Eve
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
