Four Day Week

I mention this only to give you fair warning that I am on a four-day week this week. What that means is I am going to Rhodes on Friday, so I won’t be here to bring you up-to-date news on very little as I usually do. Before then, though, I can bring you some of the reasonably up-to-date images I took over the weekend while wandering aimlessly about in the name of keeping moving. How about this one showing the treatment plant building site on ‘Council Corner’?

Looks like we’re having our Wicker Man festival early this year.

I don’t know how it’s going to look when it’s done, but it’s coming along. I wandered down to the main road through Pitini, and then came back up the road, and as I did I noticed the themed benches that anyone can use when wanting to stop and admire the view. There’s this strange thing local authorities have in some countries, Greece being one, where it’s fashionable to plant trees right in the middle of the pavements, or in some cases, to build the pavements around the trees because they were there first. You can see this in Athens where you’re forever stepping out of the way of ornamental orange trees. The same applies in Rhodes, and on the roadside path up from Yialos on Symi. However, we also have benches, and two in particular caught my attention. First, the ones where you can sit and put your feet up while you admire the sea, or put down your cup of coffee while you sit and ruminate…

And the other which has been designed for couples who want a bit of distance. Either that or it’s for those who like to sit and study tree bark.

I also found the standard single glove by the side of the road, and some other classic roadside attractions, but I’ll save those images for another day, and get on with mine, leaving you with a reasonably picturesque shot from the road.
