This week we’ve had a discussion about day-tripper charges, discovered that the potential fire hazard glass at Panormitis is probably the remains of an old dump, seen sunbeds in the wild, and I’ve had my weekly rant about how AI is already dumbing down human intelligence. (Did you know it is also giving out my email address as the one to write to when you have a concern about Symi’s stray cats? I wondered why I had an increase in emails asking me to help with strays. If you ask Crap GTP who to go to, it gives my email, so, from now on, I’m afraid I will be bouncing those back.)
After all of that, I thought we’d have a competition and call it ‘What’s My View?’ So, here’s one to get us started. Taken from the bus, what’s my view?
I’m just being silly. The bus has advertising on the window which allows you to see out but not in, but it’s a covering that the autofocus of a phone can’t cope with. That was taken last Friday when we took the 14.00 bus up from the harbour. There were no taxis when we wanted one, and instead of waiting for one, we stopped for a drink at Pavlos (just before the taxi rank) and caught the bus later. I have to say: very reasonable prices and a lovely chat with Pavlos too. This was the view:
Weekend plans? Trying to stay cool. Going to Niki’s Kitchen on Saturday evening. That’s it. Oh, and another chapter or two, I expect. Must sweep up the courtyard before it gets too hot. We’ve been averaging 37° all week, and I have to wonder if our Chinese Emporium thermometer is working properly as other people have reported higher. Ours is always in the shade on a north-facing wall, so the coolest part of the courtyard. Apart from that, nothing is planned. I might pop down the road and take advantage of this free black sunshade. Mind you, I’ll have to take my own sunbed.
