Long weekend
In a bit of a rush this morning; things to do, boat tickets to buy, packing to do, and off this afternoon (as long as we can get tickets) to Rhodes for the weekend; also cat things to arrange including babysitter, and as usual have left everything to the last minute.

I am sure we’ll be fine with the boat tickets though it could be a popular catamaran as there has been no Blue Star since last Friday and there’s not one today. This is because of a strike that has been extended. I did read somewhere that it might be coming on Monday night/Tuesday morning instead, but remember what I said about gossip the other day? I haven’t yet seen that on anything official but, even so, next Monday in the middle of the night isn’t helpful to us, but it will bring in supplies and fresh food, hopefully. And maybe some post – and it should also take the post off the island (passport application included).

I should be back on Monday and there may be a blog by Tuesday but, apart from that: I’ll leave you now for the long weekend with a few shots of Yialos looking sunny and warm in yesterday’s afternoon. It wasn’t. I mean, it was sunny, but it’s not warm. It was cosy inside Elpida’s kafeneion where I took a couple of shots through the winter plastic, I rather like that look, but otherwise… Well, at our house certainly, having a shower first thing is a bit like one of those saunas: warm bedroom, freezing cold bathroom, hot shower, cold bathroom and dashing around to keep warm – and it’s still up around ten degrees at the moment.

Anyway, have a good long weekend and I’ll be back online sometime next week.
