Wet weather again
We’re back to grey skies, some cold wind, and the promise of rain today. There are clouds rolling over the Turkish mountains, and they are looking pretty dark and thundery. So, for a change, I’m posting up a blog first thing in the morning and then going to the shops to get what’s needed for the day, before the rain starts. I will just nip out and open the tap to the sterna, so that I can collect as much rain water as possible.
Okay, done that. What does the weekend hold in store? Well, by the looks of it from my window, a wet one for Symi generally, but here at the house… We have friends coming for lunch later, hence the need for speed and shopping, so there’s that to prepare and enjoy, and then… well, that’s it. It’s one of those no-planner weekends with nothing on the card apart from some coursework. This is for both of us. Neil is taking a qualification in Global Citizenship, and now has his course materials, and a lot of work ahead.
My next assignment is much simpler: I have to come up with a story, a real life event, and write it from four different points of view and in four different structures. Each ‘story’ is only 300 words long, so it’s not like popping out four novels or anything. I have a story in mind and aim to get it done and dusted by Sunday evening. That’s my weekend homework. But, if the weather clears up, I might go out for a walk as well. We headed down to Yialos yesterday to get some shopping and ended up sitting outside the kafeneion as it was so warm. That’s not going to be possible today, not unless you have a coat, umbrella and all the necessary gear to scale the South Col at Everest.
Actually, it’s not that cold, yesterday was colder, but it’s still not that pleasant, as it isn’t around here sometimes. But it will only be a matter of days before it’s back to normal and we’re all saying how warm it is. I hope. So, whatever you are going to do now: remember to share the blog, share the Symi news and our take on it, and have a good weekend.
