Diamonds Make My Eyes Sparkle

I don't own a lot of jewelry but what I do own, is special to me. It is not necessarily expensive, but has sentimental value. With moving countries, some of my valuables have to be packed, and cannot travel in my suitcases. I have taken out an insurance, and they have been packed in unusual places within the packing crates. Diamonds. Who doesn't love those sparkling gems? I love the princess-cut diamond, my son purchase for his now wife. It is too large for me, but suits her hand perfectly. My daughter's have pretty rings and necklaces with different precious gems but a diamond always makes them squeal with delight.

My engagement ring is made up of four tiny ones, nothing grand but oh, so pretty. My original wedding band was sadly destroyed by a jewelery cleaning liquid, and my husband replace it for our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. It is white-gold, and has several diamonds in a half band. I love it when it has been cleaned. It sparkles and gives off such pretty rainbows in the sunlight. 

Recently, I lost my cross and chain. I have had it for years, and cannot for the life of me think where it went. I can only assume the chain broke, and it was lost outside of the home. It was white-gold, with a few diamonds set in rows. My husband has said he will replace it one day. I think I would like a different style the next time around. So have been searching pictures on the Internet.  While browsing Whiteflash.com, I found this one (see pic below). I have shared the image with my husband, and hope he picks up the hint!

What a Week!

 What a week it has been! Storms after a heatwave. I made a header for my new website. I found a pretty rose in the garden, fetched my pearls and a lace cloth. I then played around, and hey presto, a romantic header.

This most unwelcome visitor nearly gave me a heart attack. He slipped into the kitchen, and I nearly stepped on him in bare feet!

It has been emotional here. We are moving back to the UK, and cannot take our pets. All of them, apart from the black on in the middle, have now got new homes. It is a bit strange around here, and Lucy is a little lost. She is 9, and folk want younger dogs. Shame, and not sure what will happen nearer June 27th!

Cyprus Government Vote - We Wait

Today the Cyprus Government vote in relation to the bail out for financial survival from the EU. The citizens wait with interest and concern. With not all willing to vote yes, the politicians are keeping us in suspense. If the majority vote no to accepting the bail out conditions, then the country collapses. The funds are allegedly not there to boulster up a new funding system, or currency. This does not appear to worry, or concern some members of parliament. They want Cyprus out of the clutches of Germany/EU, (as they see it), and start again. They claim they did it after the 1974 invasion, and can do it again.

There is a long road ahead for the one half of an island. They have to claw their way back into earning an income. Tourism is the way forward, and it needs to become their strongest asset. Over the eight years I have live here, I have noticed the staff employed in some restaurants have been surly, and abrupt. They are non-Cypriot and lost the charm well known of the traditional Cypriot resident. Slowly those staff are leaving, and Cypriots who are in need of work, will once again be smiling and inviting you to join them for coffee.

A day of waiting, and wondering what the future will bring for the Island of Love.
