A quick catch-up
The sun is shining, the weather is calm, the sea flat, it’s warm out there, over 20 degrees and the village is quiet. That’s all be because today (Wednesday) most of the islanders are down at Panormitis for the island’s saint’s name day and the famous Panormitis festival. If you want to see photos, check out our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SymiDream/ if you use Facebook. These are photos there that I’ve been able to share from people who are able to get to the festival. (Todays are of the Pedi Valley and windmills.)
Up here in the village, the computer on the desk is fair steaming. I have managed to get a screenplay first draft finished within my self-imposed deadline, the next book is nearly ready to go (Symi, Stuff and Nonsense) and the one after that is ready for its next draft. The house is prepared for winter – and we are expecting more rain in a few days’ time – and things generally are settling down into the winter routine. That for me means loads of time at the desk doing what I like to do most; making up stories and putting them out there. I can add on to that, walking in the hills and chilling out in the café, when I get around to doing those things.
We sat at Rainbow Bar on Tuesday evening, on the way back from shopping, and it was warm enough to sit outside again, so we made the most of that while we still can. The harbour is very quiet below because most of the boats are coming and going from Panormitis this week, though I was up in time to see the Blue Star come and go just before six on Wednesday. If you are heading this way anytime soon, then check the boat timetables as they have changed, and may change again as winter settles in.
There, a few more words than yesterday, but still not much to report as I’ve been deadlining it these past few weeks, and there are more to come. Well, that’s my excuse for not getting out and about much. I am sure something more interesting will come along soon…
