Running Late

Because I didn’t wake up until 6.30 today and am running late, I only have a few random photos from the past couple of days and a few comments on them. After this, I must get on with editing ‘Bobby, a life worth living.’ This is the biography/autobiography of my godfather, who died in 2007. Before he died, I recorded him telling the story of his life, and now, finally, I am doing what he wanted me to do with it, which is putting it into a book and publishing it. It starts in Tooting in 1919, and the story runs through the 20th century. There will be more about it in due course, but while I wait for ‘Where There’s a Will’ to come back from proofing, I have this to be getting on with. As the book (Bobby) is about my godfather, here’s a vaguely appropriate, random but action photo of our godson hard at work in the Kali Strata Restaurant.

Not brilliant, I know. I was hurrying to dinner having turned on someone’s water feed ready for today’s water intake because they are away and…

It was good to see it busy last night. So busy in fact, I would suggest booking a table if you are planning to eat there. The bars in the square were also busy, and are set to become more so as the season really kicks in. We may even have Neil working double shifts at Rainbow before long. Of course, there are other places to eat in the village, and here’s a shot of one of them.

Scena, near the bus stop, is open for lunch and evenings and is right next to the play park, so it is a good place for families who want to chill while being able to watch their children play. There’s also Greek music at the weekend, a film night, and a great menu. As you can see from the next random, we had skies over the past few days too. The cloudy one was last week, actually, but the dawn photo was taken on Sunday when I was up at 5.15, just in time to catch the colour before it faded about five minutes later.

And then, a shot from higher up the road on my walk the other morning. One mile up the hill, one mile down the hill, all within 40 minutes. I was quite pleased with myself.

This week, I should be able to start the final proof of ‘Where There’s a Will’, I should be sent the cover for it, and I should be able to have it published in a week or so – good news for everyone following the Delamere Files series. Also this week, I have two music sessions with the godson in preparation for when he plays for his dad, more friends are arriving, as are my mother and nephew later in the week, and it looks like we may be hitting 40 + degrees again, with the chance of some more Sahara dust. Be prepared.
