A few shots from a late afternoon/evening in the village square the other night. Not last night when we had about a day’s worth of rain dumped on us in a couple of hours. I wasn’t out, but Neil was trapped in Yialos. It’s not worth the risk trying for home when it’s that bad, what with the runoff pouring down the steps. No bus and no taxis meant he had to walk up after the rain had stopped and once enough time had passed to allow the runoff to subside.

Actually, the photos were from two late afternoons last week. As you can see, it is quiet up here right now, but that night it was warm enough to sit outside, not bad for February. There were more people inside the bars, people are out and about though it’s a contrast to the hot days and evenings of summer, of course.

We have a lot to do today. As well as the usual things, a piano lesson, cake making and shopping, we need to start planning for our trip, which is now less than two weeks away. We’re also away to Rhodes on Friday (so no blog) for our annual MOT under our private health insurance plan, so I need to see what we might need for our holiday while we are there, which means sorting through clothes and making a list, the first item of which needs to be a suitcase, I suppose, seeing as I don’t have one and I will need or space than my usual rucksack allows.
