I Pity The Fool

I love Truflle Shuffle and buy fab retro T-Shirts from there. My fave recent purchase however is a mug. Not just any mug, a Clubber Lang 'I Pity The Fool' mug.

Love it, Rocky 3 is my fave movie ever it has all the best bits about Rocky in it.

  • It's the one where Mickey dies
  • Rocky and Apollo become friends

My Big Fat Greek Body

Ok I had done so well losing loads of the weight I put on over the last few years. Then after only 10 weeks in Cyprus one whole stone on. I blame the olivey oily food entirely! So I have now joined Slimming World and in the first week lost 3 1/2 lbs, second week I stayed the same and considering what I ate over Easter I was amazed. So far, so good. Will keep you posted.

Laughs at Limassol Castle

As most of the girls have gone back to the UK for Easter there is only me and Helen around so we decided to do some more of the tourist stuff, so after a little light (very light on the purse heavy in the bag) shopping at the fruit/veg market we went to nearby Limassol Castle.

As soon as we walked in we could see the signs saying ‘No cameras’ so we had to be a bit sneaky to get some snaps for Facebook.

Kuriousities in Kourion and Kolossi

Yesterday me and my friend Helen visited Kourion Archaeological Site and Kolossi Castle in an attempt to get some culture and not waste a Bank Holiday off work.

Kourion is a massive site full of Greek and Roman ruins, mosaics and an impressive amphitheatre. It was originally built in the 2nd Century B.C. and some of the B.C. parts still stand like the Public Baths which were built in 50 B.C.

It was a beautiful site to walk round, (even if I did get sunburn for my troubles) and you could imagine the site at it’s former glory looking like scenery from the movie Troy whilst walking round the House of Achilles, the Gladiators House and an area dedicated to Nymphs with columns and mosaic picture floors.

The Ampitheatre is currently used for musical and dramatic shows and seats 3500 people but I thought with it’s gorgeous sea views and old stone that it would be an amazing place to get married, though obviously there would be slightly fewer than 3500 guests.

Kolossi Castle is just down the road from where I live, I drive past it a lot and so after 3 months of driving past yesterday I went in. the orginal castle was built in 1210 and the castle that stands now was rebuilt in 1454 and has played host to the Knights Templars and King Richard I of England. Oh, and they used to make sugar there.
