Hello guys,
Winter has finally arrived on the island of Cyprus. After an long and warm autumn, with temperatures reaching up to 30 degrees Celsius, the weather has taken a sharp turn.
Over the past few days, the island has been hit by intense storms, heavy rain, and thunder.
Today and yesterday, however, the sun made a welcome appearance, offering a brief respite from the recent chaos.
The upcoming week is expected to bring even cooler temperatures, dropping to around 16 degrees—a stark contrast to the balmy 24 to 30 degrees we’ve enjoyed in recent months. By Cypriot standards, this chill feels almost wintry.
One of the more amusing highlights of these stormy days has been Katzi, our beloved neighborhood cat, who has become something of a local celebrity.
After a long night of thunder and lightning, Katzi was spotted this morning perched on a car. She didn’t look particularly well-rested—her fur was scruffy, and she carried an expression of mild annoyance.
It seemed as though the turbulent night had left its mark on her. Yet, she had claimed the car as her personal haven, basking in the morning sun as if to recharge from the stormy ordeal.
The photo of Katzi tells a story of these transitional days—about the challenges winter brings and the quiet, sunny moments that offer solace. In her own way, Katzi embodies the mood of the season: a little weather-worn, but still finding moments of warmth and calm.

Greetings and have a nice Sunday!
