It looks like it’s going to be another calm and sunny day today, so there should be no trouble with boats and such like. Talking of which, we’re off to Rhodes again next week so Neil can get paperwork for work, we can pick up some framing and other things, and that will be on Wednesday when there’s a general strike across the country. This shouldn’t affect us though, but if you are flying in on 9th April you may have some issues, one of which will be no air traffic controllers, or a limited service, I’m not 100% sure. After that, you should be fine. I’m also not sure if the farmers have done their annual protest yet, the one where they drive tractors and block roads…? Every year it seems to be less like a protest and more like a festival.
While all that’s going on out there, more locally, the kafeneion in the village square are preparing for summer with some fresh paint. Lefteris’ is going for a new colour scheme, it seems, while Rainbow is staying more or less as it has since 1987.
Even closer to home, after an hour of Tchaikovsky, Haydn and Lalo Schifrin (H is learning some film theme music as a diversion from classical, in this case, Mission Impossible), we spent a lovely afternoon at the modelling station in the kitchen. The lifeboats are going on, and the rigging has been started, though it’s nowhere near finished and tidied yet; there are still loose ends to snip off and more lifeboats to add (for what good it will do the 1,517…).
It’s warm enough to sit outside in the evening now, and that’s what we did last night before going to Georgio’s for dinner. There are many homeowners coming back and doing up their houses either for a long summer or a few weeks, we have day-trippers with many on some days and only a few on others, but while adding boats to the boat desk yesterday, we definitely heard ‘foreign’ voices outside the house. I.e. English accents. And that’s the news for now. I’m off to 1893 and a very dodgy shop on Holywell Street, and, from there, I’ll wish you a pleasant weekend.
