Apart from the mule tethered up the road it’s been a quiet weekend for me. A peaceful time of reading, writing, chatting and doing very little else.
In transport news, the bus timetable has changed, and there is now a bus from Yialos every hour, on the hour, from 08.00 until 23.00, except for 15.00 when there is no bus. This will come in handy on Thursday when we are due to go down to treat ourselves for an Indian meal in the evening (Tip: book in advance).
The bother-in-law is due back from Tilos this morning on the Blue Star. He’s reported that he was looking for peace and quiet and has not been disappointed. I look forward to hearing his fuller impression later today. He’s off again tomorrow morning on another Blue Star, so that really will have been a fleeting visit.
Note: Today is one of our three water days, so we must remember to water the plants.
Actually, I did do something else over the weekend. I started serialising a novella on my other website www.jacksonmarsh.com. It’s an old one written under my original name, and I’m going to put it up chapter by chapter over the next couple of months. What was interesting to note was that, although I only put it up yesterday and only the opening chapter, I’ve sold two copies of it online and two copies of the book that came before it, ‘Remotely’, which has the same central character, an enigmatic fix-all lady of indiscernible age but much ability, Miss P.
You can find out more about ‘Honestly’ by clicking this link. That will also lead you to the first chapter.
I’m off back to ‘work’ now, with my nose blocked and itching (it’s that certain time of year again), and the fan beside me ready to go on when the sun comes up, so… Let’s get on with the week ahead.
