Cyprus Writing Session...

Just got back from Cyprus and experienced rather freak weather conditions... well for me, anyway, 'cause the weather was great! I expected stair rods (well, that was what I got on the last writing trip/holiday to Kefalonia in September!), but, despite being fooled into thinking my usual luck was in (it was raining when I arrived and water was dripping in through the ceiling of my hotel room... Oh yes!), it stopped after an hour and then hardly a cloud all week. In fact Cyprus was rumoured to have had the warmest weather in January since 1976! I've come back doing my best impersonation of a Chippendale mahogany sideboard. Dark brown all over... with bowed legs!?

Talking of bow legs, I ended up staying in a hotel that was like Club 80 -130! There were only 3 of us under 50 there! One old boy had a 'blowout' on his walking stick at the breakfast buffet and ending up falling into the tray of scrambled egg! Well, he ended up submerging his elbow into it anyway. What made it even funnier (see, unfortunately I've got a cruel streak!) was he was wearing a mustard coloured cardigan and was oblivious to the fact that he was covered in the stuff! I think he wore the scrambled egg all day... not advisable in a freak heat wave. (Unless it was a clever tactic to get a table to himself in the evening, of course!)

I actually wrote LOADS of lyrics whilst away and am now busily starting to edit them and type everything up. I've pretty much finished tracks for the musical... I also paved the way for loads more dance stuff, working on around 20-30 lyrics for various projects. I did hire a jeep and spent three days touring the island... catching up on the writing in the evenings.

When I've downloaded the photos I might post a couple here.
