Back to the blog
And we’re back to normal, or what constitutes normal around here. Easter has come and gone, and so have my few days off. It’s actually Monday today, as I’m writing, so I am back to getting blog posts ready the day before I publish them; back into the old routine. I’ve got a few photos I took over the weekend, Saturday in Yialos, the calm sea on two mornings, one misty one clearer, lots of food and some fireworks on Sunday (those photos coming soon).

I managed to sleep through the Saturday night celebrations and dynamite, there was quite a lot of it apparently. I heard the bangs on Sunday night, right up until around half two in the morning, as I couldn’t sleep. Maybe too much chocolate mousse. There was a great firework display from the Town Hall on Sunday, plus their annual roast in the square and along the harbour. On Saturday, there were at least two day-boats in, if not more, and plenty of visitors and locals out enjoying the good weather and the Easter celebrations. The Blue Star made a trip to Kastalorizo for the weekend, and I know some Symi folk want on that, and the Panagia Skiadeni, now back to its Rhodes-Panormitis-Symi runs, was here as well.

I’ll ease you back into my day to day blogging with a few more photos and then go and enjoy the rest of my bank holiday, during which I also have to find us a new washing machine and some outdoor furniture. Now then, where did I leave that catalogue…
