Nothing much to report today. I’m here, not there, as I’m now going there next week, so today I can stay here and edit. That’s about all the news I have, as I spent yesterday at home pottering about, and don’t intend to do much more than that today. I’ve got some snaps I took last week when I was in Yialos. The first one I thought might interest anyone who comes here in the summer and wondered what the harbour front looked like during the out-of-season months…
Closed, obviously, as are many places, leaving only a few cafes and general shops open. Things like the pharmacy and supermarkets are all year round, of course, as are the services like the post office. On which note, the model had indeed arrived only four days after being ordered, and two of those days were the weekend, so that’s something of a record. It looks like my kit-building companion has his work cut out.
That’s only one side of the instructions, there’s another set of hieroglyphs on the other side. Yesterday, I came across an image of the Cutty Sark in her current location and noticed she doesn’t have sails, so I’m now thinking I will leave the sails off my version and just have the rigging on display. The sails are a strange plastic which doesn’t paint well anyway, so it might look better as it is, and it means I can start my Phantom at the same time as my godson starts his Yamaha. Interesting that, as his piano is also a Yamaha. There’s a discussion starter. As is this, which I saw online yesterday and had to keep. How many of these words do you use? There are only around three that I’d never heard of before.
And that’s enough of that. Must get on. Have a good day.
