They do say patience is a virtue — well, by now we're all feeling pretty virtuous.

Last night, after supper and an evening walk for the dogs, Animalcouriers had to leave the van at Mersin port in police custody and go to the nearest hotel. This morning we were back at the port bright and early.

A new police shift had appeared and were initially reluctant to let us into the port.

Well, I'm pleased to finally read that Animalcouriers have eventually cleared the port of Mersin... What an absolute nightmare it's been but thankfully, not all their shipments have this much hassle! I bet they are over the moon that they're once more on their journey to getting these 4 footed friends home to their owners. :-)

Chic, Hot and Here!

Carnival time is just around the corner….

Yes folks, we’re halfway through the first month of the year which means soon February will arrive and usually that shouts Carnival Time!

But this year in Cyprus, we will be celebrating much later – not until March because Orthodox Easter is some weeks after UK Easter. Carnival in Cyprus will take place for 10 days between 7th – 17th March 2013.

With this in mind I got around to searching on the internet and came across a wonderful website (UK based but Mikaela posts to Europe and Worldwide).

So if you’re looking for a mask with a difference for this years’ celebrations I would suggest your first point of contact is: www.venetianmasquerademasks.co.uk

Take a peep at this one from the Women’s Masks category, and guess what’s really cool about it? You can wear it with your glasses/spectacles! How good is that?:

Black and gold masquerade mask – £12.99

Something for the men, I hear you ask?

Yes, Mikaela has some Men’s Masks too! Guys, if you fancy being every ladies’ “Mr Grey” this year why not treat yourself (and her) to this one? Ooooh, ‘er missus!

For those fifty shades of grey games! At only £6.99

If you’re looking for something fun and classy but in a lower price range then you can’t go far wrong with this one:

Purple metallic mask priced at £2.99

So there you are! Carnival can go ahead with a bang this year but without breaking the bank balance……. And, for those of you in Cyprus – you’ve got much more time to prepare. Who will you be this year?
