[caption id="attachment_6417" align="alignleft" width="225" caption="Horio"][/caption] Here is an announcement from the Symi Gallery. Another cultural event is being held in the gallery, to mark the end of the Handmade on Symi exhibition. Next Monday, 30^th January, at 16.00, there will be some ‘Semtex for the brain’ with a poetry reading among the art. Says the message: ‘No thee’s or thou’s, no nymph or swains. There will be retsina and food for your head.’ And the other note is to bring a cushion to sit on as there are no chairs. So, with culture still flourishing among us villagers I wonder what event will be coming up next. Quick check: Today is the name day for Xenophon, so does that include expats, foreigners? Haris name day is on 28^th, and there is another festival (at least one) on every day apart from 27^th, so plenty of church services to attend, assuming we have churches celebrating Palladios, Varsamia, Avra, Chrysi, Mavros, Trion Ierarhon, Evdoxia and Kyros, and all before the end of the month. [caption id="attachment_6418" align="alignright" width="78" caption="Horio"][/caption] Strange to think that it is almost the end of January already and that before we know it Easter will be here. How many Symi Dream readers will be here for Easter I wonder? Will it be cause for a special first wine night of the year, or gallery opening of the 2012 gallery exhibition (to be announced)? Easter in Greece this year is to be celebrated on the weekend of the 15^th April. I notice that you can currently get two weeks, return, from London to Rhodes with easyJet for around £200 at this time. And, if you’re not fussed about times, you can travel with Aegean Air for around £161. Those are the basic costs, I didn’t check out how much extra you might have to pay for luggage, getting on the plane, using a seat, breathing the air etc. Looks like it might be a half decent morning again, after last night’s storms and thunder everything looks clean and washed out there. There are no more leaves left on the apricot tree, so that looks to be ready for pruning, and the lemons will also have to be cut back. Perhaps a job for the weekend, or as soon as the weather allows an afternoon in the garden. Always something to look forward to here!

[caption id="attachment_6406" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Yesterday morning"][/caption] I’m not sure if this is going to get to you this morning, it’s a kind of a race against time. We were due to have the power out from eight until eleven, for planned works of some sort, but it is already 25 past eight and the electricity is still on. Perhaps the downpours have stopped play for the day and it will happen when the weather dries up, I mean you don’t want to go up electricity poles in the rain do you? So, assuming we’re ok for this morning after all… We started on the next round of the SGT 12 (Symi Golf Tournament 2012) last night; there’s a new versions of the Tiger Woods, EA Sports game in the Xbox, so a new challenge and already Matey Pard has taken a lead from Milo T and Colin the Clown. (Ian, me, Neil, don’t ask.) But it is still early days with plenty more courses to master. [caption id="attachment_6407" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Yesterday morning towards Pedi"][/caption] I haven’t had to think about the blog these last couple of days, thanks to the ever popular Sunday postings from Susan and Symi Animal Welfare sending in an update for yesterday. Scroll down if you've not caught them. And that means I've had more time for some work of my own, which doesn’t yet include the Donkey book, that’s still coming along slowly, and I’m having trouble getting my head around it – turning a screenplay to a book isn’t as easy as I thought it might be. But hey, I shouldn't sit here chatting while I've got electricity, there is so much I was going to do today, then wasn't going to do, and now can do, that I should really get on and get it done. Whatever it was.

[caption id="attachment_6390" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="A beautiful church painted wall"][/caption] [Sunday with Susan] It has got colder here in Symi, we are dressed in layers, those readers who arrive in the warm/hot months of summer may not recognise us if they saw us now. Hot water bottles have been found and known to be refilled in the middle of the night, some have gone to bed wearing hats, don’t laugh this is serious we all know a lot of heat is lost through that part of the body. Our living areas are 13 degrees Celcius and rise to 17 degrees only after a couple of electric blower heaters or oil filled heaters are positioned strategically around the place. Soups are being ladled into pre-warmed bowls (very un-Greek) and hot mulled wine is being requested by many round at the bar. Outside the thermometer shows 5 degrees but the real feel of about 2 is due to the northerly wind that has blown for many days. Actually the best things to do is put a warm coat on and go for a walk, the result being that coming back into the house is a pleasure albeit only for a few minutes. A faux ceiling would be a good idea, with a pulley system so it can be raised again in a few weeks time and having thick red velvet curtains, rather than the thin white floaty things that drape many a window. [caption id="attachment_6392" align="alignright" width="200" caption="A pebble floor"][/caption] So we were plunged into darkness on Friday evening as you may know if you read yesterday’s blog, a breakdown at the power plant, not good when one is dependent on electric heaters. But do you know why? Well the story we heard was that for around 30 seconds there were huge flames coming from the ‘power station’ caused by a cat which had somehow got itself into the workings and caused the ‘explosion.’ Shortly after a relay team had phoned round to inform each other that power would be out for most of the night it was reinstalled and all was apparently well, except of course the island is a cat short. I kind of like it when the power goes out as many of us drift round to candlelit bars, in Horio there are a couple with log burners, an even better than usual atmosphere is to be had! [caption id="attachment_6393" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="At the wine presses"][/caption] We bought a frozen ‘block’ of chicken livers from the local supermarket last week and they were delicious, are they still difficult to find in the UK?  Unfortunately without the use of a saw they cannot be separated, perhaps the answer next time is to buy and share. Fried in olive oil for breakfast is good, or spiced up with a little garlic and chillies for supper was equally yummy. They are also so rich in just about everything that’s good for us, except of course cholesterol, so go small on the portions. Perhaps they would be good for those with man flu, a real pick me up to accompany the vitamin C boost. Hope all those suffering from that dreadful ailment are feeling better today!

[caption id="attachment_6379" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="In horio"][/caption] I was just checking that our page ‘Things to do on Symi’ was still up to date and in order, and I think it is. Here you can find a list of things to do, places to see and links to other information to help your holiday on Symi go with a leisurely swing. We’ve got suggestions for things such as the craft and other events held at the Olive Tree, and links to the calendar of Symi events, in case there’s a music night happening during your visit. We also put up news about the Symi Festival when we have it. On that note, I've not yet heard anything about the Symi Festival 2012, but as soon as we do, if we do, I’ll make a note here. [caption id="attachment_6380" align="alignright" width="270" caption="Village colours"][/caption] There’s a list of beaches on that ‘things to do page’, and some suggestions for places to visit, there’s a great deal to see for such a small island. We also mention our own wine night events and gallery openings of course, and Neil’s popular photo walks, the only such event of its kind on the island. There are other walks, the village/history walk and further afield to with both guided walks and guide books available. As summer draws closer I’ll no doubt update that page with anything else I can think of; but of anyone else has any suggestions or wants anything in particular noted, then just drop me a line. It will be interesting to follow any more events that are to be held at the Symi Gallery, any more classical music and cultural evenings or afternoons, we’re looking forward to them. And I am looking forward to another clear and cold day here on the island. It’s supposed to start getting wetter as from this afternoon so make the most of the morning if there’s washing to try and dry or you need to go out. I think I best nip out later for some cat food for you-know-who, he’s just had his last little tub and if he doesn’t get his three square meals and five round snacks a day he can be pretty grouchy. I jest. He’s grouchy all the time.
