Yes, it is still cloudy (Thursday), yes it’s been raining, yes there was thunder and lightning about when we were out walking early in the morning and yes, the house is still dripping and the clothes aren’t dry, but I’ve had enough of talking about how wet it is on Symi at the moment. (The Poseidon weather site shows the rainfall map and is predicting more overnight but a clearer day today, Friday.) I just checked out the month ahead, specifically to look at the week we hope to be moving, and that week (on Accuweather) shows thunderstorms all week. Oh joy! Mind you, that’s still over two weeks away so things have time to change. And that’s it, no more rain talk (today at least).
So, by way of a complete change and to give us all an ‘Ahh’ moment or two, I wanted to share a couple of photos sent in from Suzan. She sent them with a message explaining that these are three orphaned Symi kids (goats) which are now one month old. They were, by the looks of it, hand reared, and they are all now doing fine up at Filimonas’ farm at Ayios Dimitrios.
Suzan, as you may know, helps with Symi Animal Welfare (www.symianimalwelfare.org) and if you want to know more about how you can contribute towards the health of the island’s non-domestic (and sometimes domestic) animals, then click over there and take a look at their site.
Do you know, after a few days of long rambles and stuff, I am going to leave it there today. I find myself with an hour to spare before household chores demand my attention and I still have eight chapters of ‘Lonely House’ to check over before I send them to the editor, so I am going to do that. Have a nice day.
