Pictures and Things

And, to finish the week, a roundup of a few images taken recently. Nothing very stunning, I’m afraid, but some snaps to give you a flavour of the island in February (and a couple from Rhodes).

March has blown in on strong winds which have kept me from travelling to Rhodes. Have kept the boats from going too, apparently, as the forecast is for force seven or higher. So, I shall be staying in for most of the day, finishing my edits and plotting and planning stories as usual. Later, we’re off to the Sunrise for a quiz. The winter quiz started as a Sunday lunchtime crossword, or a quiz word I suppose. Marj and Brian kicked it off years ago by popping into the café for a Sunday lunchtime drink and to do the crossword before lunch, and it grew from there. I think this was in 2007, because we were on holiday in Peru and the Galapagos when it started, and when we came back, joined the crosswords session for one or two afternoons, then Neil broke his foot, and couldn’t go. It became my only day out of the week, as he wasn’t able to move around the house, so I could only leave him for a couple of hours. At least in the early days of recovery.

The sessions are still going, now enhanced by Peter’s stash of random quiz questions. There are no teams, it’s just a free-for-all all, and there’s such a mix of people there’s also a mix of knowledge. Artists, writers, film fans, gardeners, some with a vague interest in history (ahem), music old and new, and even some science… you never know what’s going to come up, and you never knew you knew what you thought you didn’t know until you found out you knew it. Who knew?

And so, to the random images for you to scroll through over the weekend, during which, perhaps, I may find some more things to photograph.
