It’s pouring down out there this morning but luckily we have no plans to go anywhere today. Had it been a glorious day like yesterday then a walk would have been on the cards, but that’s gone out of the window as the towels go down in strategic places around the house.

I’ve put a couple of Neil’s photos from last Thursday, the smoky party in the village square, on this post and added a gallery of some more. [Click here.]  You should get an idea of the fun and theatricality of the event from this little gallery, and from the video clips too – scroll down the page if you’ve not seen them yet. “Loved the "Smoky Thursday" video’s got quite jealous…wish we were there.” Chrissie.

The old photos of Symi sent in by Lynne & Mike have been generating a lot of interest too, and we’ve had several offers of more old photos for later in the year when people return to the island. We’ll scan them in when we get them and post them, then we can slowly build up a gallery of ‘Symi in the past’ pictures. (Anyone else with any they’d like to share, simply send them in, with permission to post them, and we’ll add them.) Meanwhile there are some more, including even older photos, at Symi Stories.

As well as our gallery there are more Symi Photos at the Out and About pages at http://www.symi-photos.com/
