Mixed blog

Let’s go up the Kali Strata… A couple of years ago one of these blog posts was about ‘Let’s all go down the steps (‘ ave a moussaka)’ sung to that old music hall song (which never originally had ‘have a banana’ in it, by the way), and today I thought we’d go up the steps in photos. Except I can’t find a song to mess with that fits, apart from ‘Let’s all go up the steps (‘ ave a souvlaki)’, but there’s nowhere doing souvlakis up here, you’d have to go down to Yialos for that, and if you go down to Yialos today, you’re sure of a big surprise. (Repeat first part of line and end with ‘you’d better go in disguise.’) You’re not, actually, I’m just being silly. But if you want a souvlaki, then there are now places open in the harbour. In fact, over the weekend, there were visitors using the cafes and tavernas, busses and taxis.

These were Greek visitors from other islands coming to celebrate Pentecost at Panormitis, and elsewhere. I don’t have photos as I was at home all weekend and haven’t been out very much at all of late, but I am popping out this afternoon (Sunday) because it’s Yianni Rainbow’s birthday, and it’s one with an 0 on the end. So, basically, my news for Monday, written on Sunday, is that I’ve not been doing much, but Symi has had some visitors for the first time in ages, and I’m showing some random photos of the Kali Strata. A bit of a mixed blog, if you ask me, but it’s 6.00 on Sunday morning, and I want to get back to writing my story.
