Lie in
A few photos today, taken yesterday when I nipped down to Yialos to collect some post and do a few other of the usual things; shopping, bank, etc. It’s another of those Symi community things, when the postman phones you at home of an evening to tell you that you have a package waiting to be collected from the newsagents and Speedex delivery port, and also something at the post office. We are very lucky with our post-people here on Symi, always friendly, efficient and on the ball.
So, a bit of work in the morning was followed by a stroll down the Kali Strata in the cold sun to Yialos. Here we collected packages and letters before walking around to the hot side of the harbour where it was very warm in the sun, to the bank. I see that Takis has already started on his changes and moving. It’s odd to see the old shop that I used to work at 13 years ago has now gone. Except it hasn’t, it’s now reducing in size and moving into the right-hand building, so the shop will still be there next year, no worries on that front. You’ll still be able to see genial Takis and his staff, and buy all your leather goods as you have done for the last many years.
Due to the weight of the packages, ah-them, we took a taxi back up the hill and then stopped for a while in the square as one table at the kafeneion still had sunlight on it. We warmed up there before heading home to a cool house where the heater went on, and the cat found a decent place to sit (in front of the heater) for the rest of the day.
So, I’m not stopping long, but hopefully later today I will be able to write something more interesting for you for tomorrow.
