Everything and nothing kind of day
November 22nd, 2008 Posted in Day to day | 2 Comments »Here comes another fresh day on Symi after some rain last night, and possibly some more later today. The afternoon was nice enough and people were outside the kafeneion, though wearing jumpers. There has been some building work going on across the valley from us, below the line of windmills and I’ve been able to hear the machines breaking up the rocks from over here at my desk – must be a nightmare for neighbours nearer the site. But that machine seems to have finally stopped, I hope I’m not speaking too soon.

Here’s a view from the upper village taken much earlier in the year. The church you can see is Ag Athanassios.
Saturday is usually a working day for me but Neil has a big job on at the shop which means I’ve got to organise mundane things like shopping. We’ve also got some friends coming for lunch who have found some music written by an ancestor which I said I would play them later. And that means I have to practise it. And that means I’ve got to go and find the nail clippers as I hate playing when my nails are long; it was much easier when I bit them.

Brooms from the Clean Up Symi day that was organised by the Symi Visitor… when was that?
Tomorrow is definitely a day off, I always try and keep one day free for doing things I actually want to do. There are no Greek lessons, no music lessons, no work to do and, if I get the shopping right today, no shopping to do either. We have people coming for dinner tomorrow evening but Neil’s cooking so I can have the afternoon to myself.
