Friday 5 Sept. Temperature 40° announces the Nicosia daily where the little "Morris" brought me in less than one hour. 9h00, set up in the office of Mr Karageorghis for drawing the Cypriot weights

Drawing: two objects, on the left a rectangular box with a raised lid, on the right an animal head with a ring; labels: bronze remplissage plomb.; bronze

Left the museum at 13h30 (summer timetable in force) I find Nicosia again, where even in civilian clothes the English soldiers carry arms. The daily attack took place, and to get through the checkpoints the handling of the passport becomes one of the everyday gestures of life. Michaël pays this evening, in advance, the two young girls hired for the cleaning of the house at Engomi.
