It’s certainly cooler this morning that it has been of late. The thing in the courtyard reads 27° and 70% humidity. That’s slightly different from last week when we reached 38° in the afternoon in the courtyard. Other people were posting different readings and I’ve seen numbers from 38 to 45, but it all depends where you put your thermometer I guess. Still, yesterday morning was a clear one…
As we are doing boats, I haven’t been on one for a couple of weeks now. The last time was a quick dash to Rhodes to get some glasses fixed, and I went over on the Panagia, which made for a very relaxing trip as it was a quiet boat. Knowing it was to take around 90 minutes, I took a book to read and settled in the lounge beneath a rather enthusiastic air conditioning unit which chilled me to the bone, so I had to move.

I was grateful for it on the way back, mind you. After three and a half hours racing around Rhodes on foot, I became the witch from the Wizard of Oz, ‘I’m melting,’ and I sure was. Even more so after, having cooled and dried off on the journey back, I then walked up to the village via the Haritomeni restaurant road, and even with the short cut, it was something of a slog. But that was then, and this is now, and I have no intention of taking a day trip anyway right now. I can’t afford to; I just received my annual health insurance bill. Actually, on seeing how it’s increased, I might need to use it and get some treatment for shock. But that’s another story.
And so to the typowriter where I currently have a few very tiny ants scurrying around between the keys, along with a tiny baby spider, one of those that hops everywhere. I’m hoping they’re cleaning up inside the keyboard and not getting up to mischief.
Talking of which, I’ve been meaning to remind you about a free read over on my other site. If you fancy a read of a short ‘Miss P’ novella, it’s now available for free over there, and if you click this image, you will find the index page where the chapters are linked. After the first one, each chapter is then linked to the next…
