Today, I can show you a couple of the photos I was talking about yesterday but couldn’t reach because of the internet thing. It’s fine today (150 Mbs), so I don’t know why it was so slow yesterday. However, the image you see here of the blue sky… well, you can’t actually see that this morning. All that’s outside the window is a wall of grey as the rain sweeps in across the bay from the north.
It’s a day for staying at home, keeping dry and cosy, and not going to the shops, as one of us must do later. Neil is doing things in the kitchen today, while I am writing. Yesterday, the bathroom ceiling was finished to perfection, and I’ll share some pics of that next week if I remember, and the afternoon was spent, again, in the kitchen with Neil cooking and us two working on the beast of a model. I have to say, H is doing this all himself except from when it comes to the rigging which is a two-man job, only because of having to tie tiny knots in short pieces of cotton.
Still, it’s coming on.
There’s nationwide strike action today to protest over the government’s handling of the fatal rail crash of two years ago, so if you are in Greece and were planning to visit particular offices or services, you might need to check if they will be open or running. Mind you, if you are in Greece, you won’t have failed to have noticed the news coverage of that terrible event nor the ensuing outcry which has been screaming on for two years and yet no-one seems satisfied, because nothing much has been done to ensure such a thing doesn’t happen again. Meanwhile, you’ve got seven planets lined up across the dusk sky tonight though you can’t see them all without binoculars, and with all this cloud around, you can’t even see the sky let along things millions of miles up. Whatever, it’s time to set my mind to 1893, the day ahead, and to look forward to sunnier days.
