Mary's Dinner Club - 100th Dinner

marys dinner clubAnd yet again… a fantastic, literally ‘event-full’ weekend: herbs, a private party, a 100 celebration, Indian music… all in three days!

We started on Friday with a balcony herb growing workshop with Miranda Tringis from Cyherbia Herb Gardens whom I call the ‘herb fairy’- she is so knowledgeable and in love with all things plant. The actual beginning of her demonstration/talk was slightly delayed because we just could not stop asking her questions about our little gardening woes. And she did have an answer for every single one - she’s a walking encyclopedia really, when it comes to plants and I had been looking really forward to this event.

The herbs in my balcony’s herb corner served as models and we were all excited to find out so many little tips and tricks on how to keep them growing and healthy. The second part was spent planting our own lemon verbena into little pots the ‘proper way’. My large balcony table provided the ideal working area and we had great fun getting our hands in dirty!

Eurovision Nightmare

Every year I say I won't watch it. Every year I say that was the last time. And yet I find myself again in front of the TV, while the Eurovision pierces my ears and makes me cringe. But I still watch... hoping that maybe this year it will be better.

What Makes a Building Green?

green buildingBy Charalampos Theopemptou, Lecturer Department of Environmental Science and Technology Cyprus University of Technology

There is an ever increasing interest world wide in Green Buildings with European and American building certifications in place. The first thing that comes to mind for most people when they hear about green buildings is energy.

Surely energy is very important but its only one of many parameters that will make a building green. In a green building where we require to be able to purchase as little energy from outside and the wellbeing of the occupants is of the outmost importance.
