And before anyone asks, the driver was COMPLETELY sober.

The car hit mud on a wet road and the steering locked, then the brakes locked and when we hit gravel, there was nothing to grip on anyway whether the brakes worked or not.

The next thing that I remembered was that the car was stationary, wrapped around a gate post and i had a lot of difficulty breathing.

The ambulance came a short while after, and we sat inside it while we got things like blood pressure and pulse checked. Luckily none of us had any serious injuries, just the general ache of having your rib-cage crushed by a seat belt.

I have a friction burn from my left shoulder to the middle of my chest and my knees are scraped and bruised.

So the 4 of us cancelled our New Year's party, and went to bed at 1am after drinking about 2 beers each.

I hope everyone else had a good New Year's!

With (if it's at all possible) less of a tan than I started off with!




N E W S



Day One
Wednesday 18th October, 2006


Woke up at 4am to leave the house at 4.30am.

On the plane there were storm clouds to the south of Cyprus. The plane went through some heavy turbulance and ended up falling several (possibly hundred) feet.

"Moved in" to villa. [link] Went for a walk on the beach, choppy waves and very humid. Had a drink in a restaurant while waiting for Auntie Anne (soon to be bride) and watched the thunder and lightning coming in.

Changed restaurants, drank wine and margaritas. The storm started raining on the food, then the power went out (which I later discovered was all across the south of Cyprus) and everyone in the restaurant clapped.

We were ushered inside by the waiters when the roof started leaking and ate the rest of our meal inside by candlelight.

Was flirted at by a waiter (later nicknamed "yes please" by my brother and I)



Day Two
Thursday 19th October, 2006


Woke up at 10am local time and moved from the mountain villa to another that was only 15 minutes walk from the beach and much closer to the other apartments that the rest of the family was staying.

Met up with Dave (soon to be groom) Uncle John, Auntie Anna, Karl and Hayley at Dave's apartment.

The boys went off to play golf at Happy Valley while me Mum, Anna and Granny went to see Auntie Anne (bride) and then on to Limasol. Bought swimming costume, sunglasses and a Greek-English phrasebook.

Saw John and Anna's hotel room.

Unpacked at new apartment.

Had dinner at a fancy restaurant (Kastro) for the bride-less hen-night.

Another thunderstorm, but not nearly as bad.

My eye swelled up, hurt a lot.



Day Three
Friday 20th October, 2006


Stayed in villa for a while as Mum, Dad and little brother, Harry (~flapown) went to Limasol.

Met Granny and Grampie in beach restaurant.

Fetched swimwear from villa but refused to swim in the "refreshing" (you all know what that word REALLY means) water. Watched from the shore as Mum and Dad went sailing [link] and the Mum and Harry went Kayaking [link] .

We had a greek dancing night [link] , I love Brandy sours, and so does my cousin's girlfriend, Bex.



Day Four
Saturday 21st October, 2006


Woke up with mild hangover to find that the toilet AND shower were broken in the villa. Had to have a cold shower outside using the swimming pool shower.

Had an argument over underwear before getting into wedding outfit [link] and getting on the coach to the wedding ceremony [link] . (At the All Saint's Church, Episkopi Garrison.)

After the ceremony, we were coached to the wedding reception at the British Force Headquaters, Officers Mess, Episkopi.

Drank plenty, Brandy Sours, Port, wine, champagne [link] .

Was taught to dance Rock 'n' Roll.



Day Five
Sunday 22nd October, 2006


Lunch at Melanda Beach fish restaurant with Granny, Grampie, Anna and John.

Karl, Hayley, Dom and Bex turned up to say hi before catching their flight home.

Went to Korina, past Episkopi, to see Greek ruins [link] .

Went back to villa for a bit and then went to the same restaurant as the bride-less hen-night.

Fell asleep in the car on the way back to villa.

New DA Layout?
_{Having already seen the new layout when the preview was available, I was already looking forward to using it properly. Now it's finally here? I love it! Some of the new features are actually pretty useful, and I think that the layout is more user-friendly.}
