Day 1; Arrived in Cyprus. Not scorchio in the slightest. BM turns up to meet me and insists on driving off road back to his house so I can admire his 'Pajero'. He insists on wearing a large hat at all times.
House is surrounded by angry goats. LL helps me in through a window (BM has painted door shut) and shows me to my quarters.
BM shows me where the cleaning materials are and suggest some 'aerobic mopping' before lunch.
He plans a cinema evening in honour of my arrival. Only 13 days to go
Despite the frightful weather BM insists that we are going to swim this afternoon and suggests I don my bikini. He explains that he likes to take lots of photographs. His hobby apparently. He splashes around the pool happily, still wearing his hat.
Later on: BM has gone off to 'catch dinner'. He is doing his special goat and fig surprise apparently. Sound of swearing and bleating from outside.
Goat and fig surprise is just that. Surprising. After we have washed off the remnants of dinner we all cram into the 'cinema' for a showing of some kids' film. BM spends ages fiddling wtih his equipment and eventually has to fetch a large box of cables.
LL and I get pissed
