I’d say spring is springing, or has sprung, or is about to spring a surprise, because I took a quick walk yesterday through greenery, as you’ll see from the photos. That was on Sunday morning after I finished the almost last draft of my next mystery, ‘Acts of Faith,’ which Neil is now reading, and which must go to the proofreader next weekend. That means, beside me is a blank page in a notebook, to which I hope, soon, to start adding notes for the next one. I’ll let you know how things go, or course, but if you want to know what these mysteries are, the current series starts here.
Not there, which was at the top of the Pedi valley yesterday. I’m guessing the harbour cafés were busy yesterday, because there was a football match. Sam reports that the café where he works is always busy on a weekend and will continue to be so as the weather improves. He’ll not be there for much longer, though, as I believe he starts his summer job next month, which sounds early, but then, the island will busy up as Easter approaches. For my piano student, the next few months brings the end of school (for ever), a grade four piano exam, the summer job and then college, so, like spring, there are a lot of new things coming up.
On my way back from my walk yesterday I passed the museum and found four young tourists sitting on the bench politely waiting for something to happen. One stopped me and asked if this was the museum, and I said, yes, it was. It was closed with a sign saying, ‘Back in five minutes,’ which I suspect is permanent at this time of year. I banged on the door because I gained the impression the lads were too polite to do so, but to no avail. There was a phone number to call so I suggested they tried that. I hope they did, because they had obviously made such an effort to get across from Rhodes for the day, climb the steps, and find the place, and I hope someone came out to show them around, as I believe, the museum is supposed to be open on a Sunday.
Anyway, for me, it’s nose to the grindstone as always, or fingers to the keys. Finish this book, start the next, begin on the spring cleaning bit by bit, carry on carrying on, and look forward to seeing old friends while meeting new in the summer months.
