Pedi in the Early Morning

You have Neil to thank for the gallery of photos today, and what a lovely way to end the week. A walk to Pedi early in the morning, to catch the sun as it came up, a mix of silvery grey and heat, cooled slightly by the sea slurping on the shingle. You can tell from the colours that it was going to be a hot day (33° in the shade in our courtyard yesterday afternoon), and from the sea that there was very little breeze.

Today holds in store the usual; work, Yialos to collect some deliveries, visit the dentist, probably get a bus or taxi home afterwards as it will be the middle of the day and too hot for the steps, and then, an afternoon reading with no plans for anything over the weekend other than reading and writing, making salads and eating them, perhaps strolling around the village in the early morning. We shall see.

My top news story is that the next instalment of my 1890s detective mystery series is now out. ‘Holywell Street’ concerns the illicit bookshops along ‘Booksellers’ Row’ in a London street notorious for selling under the counter material. If you click that title, you should get to the paperback version on your appropriate Amazon site. If not, click this next one for the Kindle version, or search it out on Amazon.
