Wind
The wind is blowing in the wrong direction and sending the smell of the drains into our laundry room via the sink… somehow. I’ve taped up every join in the pipes, the trap is working, the plug is in, I still don’t understand how it’s possible, but there you are. Somewhat unpleasant but one of those things, like when the wind blows in any direction, it blows the dead leaves into the porch. They rush into the house as soon as you open the door as if there’s a sale on and they’ve been queuing all night. It’s also rattling the balcony doors where the latch/lock mechanism only fits into the top fastening, and to keep out the draughts, we have to close shutters, fill the gap between shutter and door, and then hang a thick quilt over the whole thing. In other words, we’re gearing up for winter.
That gives me an excuse to remind you that you can have a Symi summer all year round simply by buying one of Neil’s calendars. This year, the photos are all of sunrises at Pedi and were taken during the summer. You can only buy these online from one outlet, and all you have to do is follow this link to Symi Sunrises 2021.
And here’s the kind of image you can expect to find on the calendar. There is one like this for every month of the year, and the calendar is one of those that has boxes (about one-inch square) in which you can write notes and reminders.
