And here we are again
…emerging from the Christmas festivities on a cloudy Wednesday morning. At least I think it is cloudy. I haven’t had the shutters open all week and haven’t been outside for a couple of days, but when I glanced out of the front door a few moments ago it looked cloudy. Actually, I’ll just go and have a quick look…
Not too bad, and certainly warmer than of late. Maybe I will open the shutters later and look out onto the world again.
It’s been a great time but I’ve hardly taken any photos. There are a couple here today from the carol singing last week. That was a lovely evening. We went to Lefteris’ Kafeneion where Dawn had arranged music and singing – and lyric sheets for all. There were between 40 and 50 people inside the kafeneion, a mix of nationalities.
There was music and singing supplied by some very talented people and plenty of good cheer and humour. After the selection of traditional carols and a few Christmas songs, young George took the microphone and entertained us all with some Greek numbers and some of his own, plus some cabaret in his own style.
I took a few photos, but an underwater camera in a candlelit café at night doesn’t give the best results, so I’ll put a few here (that you may have seen on Facebook already) and leave you with them. My blogging brain is still not in gear, so maybe tomorrow I’ll find something more interesting to say. This is just to let you now that we’re back and I’m trying to get back into the routine. I won’t stay long, there’s a lot of clearing up to do and shopping to sort out, the house to tidy – again, this seems to be a regular thing at this time of year: sort the sitting room out again after an afternoon and evening of sofa surfing and DVD watching… And on towards the run-up to New Year.
I hope you had a good Christmas and welcome back to the real world.
