Buy Soma No Prescription - Discount NoRX Pharmacy

[caption id="attachment_7201" align="alignleft" width="260" caption="Donkeys at work"][/caption] I mentioned donkeys yesterday (in the photo) and lo and behold, as I went down to the shop later on, there they were, working away, coming up and down the Kali Strata. I also noticed that the road through the village was sealed off yesterday evening due to repair work. I expect it’s all back to normal this morning though. There, that explains today’s photos. Now time for some announcements: I’m going to be away for a couple of days so won’t be blogging again until probably Sunday when Neil has a photo walk on, but here’s what’s happening over the next couple of days: The shop is open tonight from 17:00 to 19:00 if anyone else needs photos for exams. Friday: you’ve got a treat in store on Friday. At 18.30 there is the Olive Tree information evening; if you are new to Symi or if you want a quick refresh on where things are, what’s going on and what to do while you are here; if you have any questions at all, then call in and see Jenine and Tina and ask away. You can even just call in for a chat. They will be there until around 20:30 I believe (as well as keeping their regular hours during the days). [caption id="attachment_7202" align="alignright" width="170" caption="View from the shop"][/caption] Which means that before, or after, you can call into The Symi Gallery on the Kali Strata to see the new exhibition; this starts from 19:00 on Friday evening. The gallery is towards the top of the Kali Strata, just before the final corner, just down from Symi Dream. You can’t miss it. And then, to complete your evening of cultural diversity, there will be live Greek music at Georgio’s Taverna in Horio from 21:00, food, wine, company, music, art, information… For your Symi blog on Friday, check our Adriana’s Symi blog here. [caption id="attachment_7203" align="alignleft" width="231" caption="Roadworks ahead"][/caption] Saturday: The Olive Tree is holding a charity quiz with proceeds being donated to the village surgery; everyone welcome. 20:00, don't miss it! Sunday: Neil’s photo walk to Pedi leaves the shop at 9.15 in the morning, no need to book, just turn up, walk, chat, learns some tips and tricks and see Symi from a different angle. Monday: back to normal shop hours and the wine night. And that’s as far ahead as I am planning at the moment. Back soon!

[caption id="attachment_7187" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="View of Horio, last week"][/caption] How was your weekend? Mine was very pleasant thank you very much and culminated in a lovely party last night where we played music and sang (not me) and chatted with a few friends on the terrace, and later inside. The god-boys came round too, and entertained us before heading off for a Mothering Sunday party at Blooms. Then the evening took a nicely dramatic turn as a thunder storm presented itself as a backdrop, not directly over Symi but across the water over Turkey. Lightening cracked across the horizon for a while and we could hear the grumbles of thunder from here as we sat on the terrace watching the spectacle. [caption id="attachment_7188" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Outside loo, Symi style"][/caption] Our party started around five so I was unable to stay at Rainbow and watch the football. Hopefully I will find out later how the Man U and Man C fans managed to sit in the same bar and watch the two games on the one TV at the same time. I imagine it was great fun and bravo Dave and Margaret, I just discovered online that ‘Man City are champions.’ The first time in what was it? 45 years or something that they’ve been top of the thingy? And 3:2 as well, very exciting I’m sure. And never mind Ged, only 1:0, but you were, I am sure, very gracious. There you are, you see? Just proves that I do know something about netball after all. Ok, so wine night tonight, if you’re on Symi we will see you on the steps later I hope. But for now, I am going to finish the tidying up and then chill on a peaceful terrace under the sun.

[caption id="attachment_7175" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Symi harbour from up on the hills"][/caption] A quieter day yesterday than of late, no parades, no church services or long walks, and only one photo of a low cloud over Nimos which didn’t come out that well; I’ll have a look and see if I can use it tomorrow or Monday. But a very pleasant day nonetheless. I was able to go through Neil’s album of photos from the consecration of the church and you can see the whole album by following this link.  You can open the first image and then click through one at a time from there. They are watermarked because they are also for sale at the shop. (A free collection will be given to the church and its family.) [caption id="attachment_7176" align="alignright" width="200" caption="As seen en route"][/caption] There are some images today from our walk to and from Xisos, an easy walk to do once you have found your way out of the village. And that is about to become even easier thanks to a healthy café (with cakes). I understand that The Olive Tree are starting to put together walk sheets; a page of instructions on how to get to various places around the village with notes on what to look out for on the way. You can call in and ask any time, and you can also attend the Friday evening ‘get to know the island’ sessions they have just started. We called in last night and the ‘sessions’ are very informal and informative. So, if you are a new independent traveller to the island, just come to the OT in the village and you’ll find all the info you want. Now then, apparently there’s a story going around about me and a West End dancer, something to do with ‘Sweet Charity’, ‘Big Spender’ and perhaps a tango? Something to do with a double act and this young lady being able to shoulder her leg at a birthday party? Well, I can tell you categorically, right here and now, and with no compunction at all, that it is all absolute truth. I have witnesses, Yiannis at Rainbow for one, and several other people who came and congratulated me yesterday on my performance. (I have no idea what they are talking about, but I am glad I was entertaining.) [caption id="attachment_7177" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Church eagle"][/caption] Moving swiftly on. The weather has changed slightly and there are clouds about, there is even the possibility of a shower or two. Neil’s Sunday morning walk is still on though: arrive at the shop tomorrow by 9.15, he watches the bus come up from Yialos and then waits, so you can get the bus and get off at the windmills and walk down the road to the right, into the village, then cut down the steps opposite the Pharmacy and turn left at the bottom. Then head off with him through the Pedi valley arriving in Pedi in time for you to catch the 12.30 bus back if you want, or stay, or walk on to another beach. Next week we may be heading to Rhodes for some business, and so the shop may be closed for a couple of days, we’re not 100% sure yet, but I’ll let you know. Depends on a variety of things, so stayed tuned, and have a nice weekend.

[caption id="attachment_7153" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="View of Yialos yesterday"][/caption] Yesterday, we set out from the house at nine in the morning, meeting Peter outside our local church. Then the walk started; up through the village to the church of Ag Stavros, and then onward with only a couple of “do you go this way?” “I usually go that way…” Past Kathy’s house, onwards and upwards, past Michaelis’ house, and finally out and onto the path that leads across country. From here you have some wonderful views down to the harbour, the village and Pedi. There will be a gallery of many more (and better) shots coming along soon as these photos here are mainly mine, and Neil’s are waiting for me to resize and get ready to upload. Hopefully over the weekend when I can also put some more up of the May 8th parade. We stopped en route to call in to the little chapel of Ag Paraskevi, and light a candle and leave an offering. [caption id="attachment_7154" align="alignright" width="300" caption="chapel of Ag Paraskevi"][/caption] And then continued on our way up to Xisos, arriving there at just after nine thirty. The morning was warm, and clouds were coming over, but only thin ones, nothing that threatened rain. [caption id="attachment_7155" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="In the courtyard"][/caption] Having been warmly greeted by Zoi and Nikos, and the family, Neil set about his job of discretely photographing the consecration of the new church. The church is dedicated to St Christopher, whose name day it was yesterday. We photographed the icons and paintings inside the church after the service had taken place as we didn’t want to distract or get in the way, but the priests came outside several times to bless the building, and the congregation. We too were blessed and, when I arrived I lit a candle to the ancestors, and another to friends. (I was wearing my grandfather’s old silver cross for the occasion.) [caption id="attachment_7157" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Parading with the icon"][/caption] We later paraded around the church with the icon, held by two of Zoi’s sons, Tassos and Christos, and then witnessed the bread being blessed. The priests spoke to the congregation and the service was concluded. During some of this time some of the ladies had been busy in the kitchen preparing the coffee and the food. I was able to manage a bread ring, two biscuits, an olive bread roll and a cup of very sweet Greek coffee (with milk, my first coffee in about three months) and then decided to have a look inside the church and admire the icons. I was handed a profiterole on the way in which I held very carefully, deciding to eat it once I got outside. Where I was immediately handed a hot souvlaki prepared in oil and honey. Which to eat first? Meat course or pudding? Pudding, before it melted. [caption id="attachment_7158" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Making coffee"][/caption] We then sat and chatted, ate, took a beer with Nikos, greeted many of our neighbours from our part of the village who were all there, and finally, armed with a back-up bag of cakes and consecrated bread to pass on to people who could not attend, we headed off down the hill. Lakis had arrived to bring people back in the bus, but we had planned to walk. And so we did; back down the path from the road, past Ag Paraskevi, into upper Horio and then down to the house by 12.30. And the rest of the day was rather mundane compared to that. So, lots more images to come over the next few days. Neil’s putting together a CD of his photos for Zoi and the family, and now that the church is open, her Taverna should soon be fully open as well. If you ever have a chance to call in to view the church do, the icons are wonderful. Check back for more photos soon.
