Diary dates
Two pieces of news for you today; two dates for your diary.
First of all, next Monday, there will be an interview published at Effrosyni Writes, a literary blog and site by an author who you’ve met on these pages before. The interview is with me, by the way, and I expect I will put up a link to it on Monday to remind you.

And secondly, on June 8th a couple of ladies from the British Consulate in Rhodes are coming over to Symi. They are interested to chat with local British residents to discover their experiences of living on Symi, and also to explain what the consulate does. They will be holding what I’d describe as an informal drop-in on June 8th at The Olive Tree in Horio, and everyone is welcome to come and meet them and have a chat over coffee between 19:00 and 20:30 on that evening. Here’s the message:
“Having considered what you said, Rania and I have decided to visit Symi on the afternoon ferry which will hopefully facilitate a more convenient time for people who are working during the day. We have chosen to come over a little earlier i.e. Wednesday, 8th June, and thought of asking people to come to meet us at the Olive Tree for drink/coffee at 19.00 – 20.30. Do you think this will suit? We would like to meet as many residents as possible, explain to them the assistance we provide to British Nationals and answer any questions they may have.”

There; those are my two pieces of parish news for this morning. Short but sweet, a bit like me actually.
