There’s a parade on Symi today, as there is every May 8th. This celebrates the end of WWII and involves the school children, local organisations and services, and the laying of wreaths at the war memorial. If you are here and want to see it, the best place to be is on the north side of the harbour (Takis Leather side) along the quay, and to be there around 11.00 a.m.
Here’s what the weather has in store for the day…
I love this time of the morning when the sun’s just coming up, the sea is still silver, and the sky a little pink. The Blue Star is on its way in, on time as usual, and a couple of fishing boats have recently gone out. Birds are twittering nearby, but otherwise, there’s hardly a sound. You can hear that on our Facebook Page under ‘reels’ where I’ve started putting random 30-second clips when I remember to or have something to put up. (Eventually, there will be a lot of the same view, but taken at different times of the year.)
The extended bank holiday weekend has more or less come to an end (some places may not be open in the morning because it’s May 8th), and things are returning to normal. We were out to dinner last night with friends, and had a great time at Georgios, good food as always and hardly any cost involved. Today, I’m off out for a walk before settling down to chapter whatever-I-am-on, and it’s all about getting my head back into the next book.
