You know how it all comes at once… Yesterday was one of those days, what with the electricity bill coming in, our new house contract arriving, the rent going up to 63.5% of my pension income (but at least it will be the same for the next two years), and the website registration up for renewal. It is a good job I am what my uncle would have called a wise virgin (because he was always quoting from the Bible as a way of raising a laugh). In other words, I was prepared for all these things.
In other non-news, the physio continues, and here has been some slight improvement, but I might see if I can get an appointment with the chiropractor when I am next in Rhodes, which will be next Monday/Tuesday, as I help the H monster settle into his new room/life as a college student.
I was looking around for a hotel nearby to his new place, and my Booking.com searches kept coming up with silly prices, such as €150 for a night, breakfast not included. When I mentioned this to others, no-one seemed at all surprised, which is a sign of how we all just accept that ‘everything has gone up’, even, it seemed, hotels that are way off the beaten track, and not near the sea, nor in the Old Town, but over at Ag Nikolas. I returned for another search later, only to notice I was trying to find a room for five people and not one. Changed that… €40.00 a night. Much better. This is off Kanadas St, though, and not the New Town where I usually stay, but Kanada’s where I need to be, so that’s something else to do; book a room for Monday night. (And no, I can’t stay with the H monster, because he only has one room and a bathroom (no kitchen), so it’s not big enough.)
Anyway… The sun is up, the hills over the water are briefly pink, the sea is calm, there is some cloud about to make the sky more interesting, and I have things to be doing.
