The photo today shows what a difference your generosity, donations, time and support are making as you/we all help Solidarity Symi help the refugees who come through Symi on their way to a new life. Check this photo against yesterday’s lead photo. (And thanks again to Solidarity Symi for allowing me to use it, I hope it’s okay, no-one has told me off yet.)
Also check out how calm the sea was yesterday afternoon as I noticed the barge thing pottering around at the new harbour jetty. Does this mean work will begin again soon? Does this mean we shall soon have a new jetty? Does that mean that we will then have a new jetty but no way of lorries getting to and from it? It will be another ‘Bus Stop Symi’ all over again.
My winter routine has started up with walk, work, lunch break, work on book, films, with other things popping in and out as required. Today, for instance, I am so looking forward to the start of some root canal work with the dentist. He’ll be doing the work, I’ll be making odd noises when he taps teeth and asks if that hurts. After that, I probably shan’t get much else done. But then the rest of the week ahead is free. I have to change the litter tray for the cat today. We’ve ordered eight packs of litter for him which should see us through a few weeks, just need to stock up on his food so his Assistant to the Groom of The Privy Chamber will have all the supplies needed to take care of him while we are away.
And, as you can see, it’s a pretty slow news day from me. We’re heading towards Panormitis weekend and we may be walking there on Sunday for the festival; it runs for three days but we can only go on the Sunday. Hopefully there will be buses back and if not, someone will give us a lift. I don’t mind walking there if the weather is good, but there and back in one day is a bit much. We have been going to Kokkimidis, but this year we fancied a change. We’ll see how it pans out. That’s it from me today, must go, things to do and cat litter to play with…
