That was the weekend that was, and it started on Friday when I went down to Yialos and had three fillings done. We have two dentists here, both wonderful, kind and quick. Inquisitive visitors are always surprised at the prices too, particularly when compared to the UK. After that, I called into ACS to collect a package we’d already collected (doh!) and was home by lunchtime.
The Saturday highlight was the arrival of a new mattress four months to the day after we’d ordered it from the shop in Rhodes. We knew it wasn’t due to arrive with them until the end of April because it was coming from Athens and had to be made first, so that was okay. Then, it was a case of the delivery company finding the right van, time and people to collect it and bring over here, and that didn’t come together until Friday. So, on Saturday, our friend from around the corner turned up with it on a van, he and his mate brought it into the house, took away the old one, and that was that. We unwrapped it and heaved it onto the bed where it feels six feet higher than the last one.
Apart from that excitement, the only other thing of note over the weekend has been the weird weather. We’re under a dust cloud again, but it’s due to clear tonight, and yesterday was also cloudy, a mix of normal cloud and dust, giving everything a dull grey appearance. There were even a few spots of rain later in the day, and this morning, at 5.00, thunder. It’s now 6.0 and raining a little. The temperature was up at 32° one day and 22° the next. So, it’s now a question of, what next?
For me, another cup of tea and on with my notes about the current work in progress.
