After the weekend
Here we are back from our Easter weekend and all in one piece. It was a weekend with dynamite, bangers, fireworks, and music played through the island’s speakers. I believe church services were held and streamed to congregations, rather than worshipers attending the churches, and despite the lack of people in the lanes, you could still pick up on the celebratory atmosphere. We spent Saturday evening on our balcony watching the flares from the patrol boats and coastguard and being rocked by the explosions from up near the windmills and behind us, either at the Castro or on the hillsides. I did take a video at midnight and tried to upload it to the Symi Dream Fakebook page, but so far, it hasn’t finished doing its thing, and I’ve got a feeling it was too big a file. Anyway, there are many more videos around showing the fireworks from various places and where you can hear the power of the bombs.
We took a short walk on Sunday, around the village lanes and up, then down again, of course. The weather was perfect. Sunny in the morning and slightly cloudy in the afternoon but with no threat of rain. I took some photos while we were out, and as I write this, I am in the process of downloading them from my One Drive, which has just gone ‘pix-up’, you might say, and crashed as I was highlighting the ones I wanted to download and resize for this page. Clicking back in and starting again, I find they have been deleted, and I am now I the process of trying to get them back, so I’ll stop and go and do that. Bloomin’ IT interruptions! If you see images beneath this last line, you will know I was successful.
