The boat finally came in and, I imagine, some folk arrived, some managed to get away, deliveries have been made and there should now be things in the shops.
That was Sunday afternoon, it’s now Monday and the boat is due back again, from Rhodes, this afternoon, or evening. And it might be bringing our furniture with it, or that might have arrived last night. As I write this I have no idea and no further updates. But I can tell you that Monday dawned cloudy and wet, and slightly warmer than of late. It started raining during the night, and I was woken up a few times by new sounds – sounds of the new house that I am not yet familiar with: rain on the roof, drips from gutters and so on.
It’s also Clean Mondays today (yesterday as you read this), but not the weather for having barbeques, as we had planned, or flying kites, not this year. No traditional picnics unless things improve considerably this afternoon, which looks unlikely.
And so, instead, I am writing up a quick post and then getting ready for an indoor BBQ at Jenine’s house, while looking down onto a gunmetal grey sea and listening to the gutters still dripping outside and the air conditioning blowing out a little warmth from above me. If you’ve been following our house move then you might like to know that we have dropped the keys to the old house back with the owner, via Lefteris at the bar as Lefteris of the keys was taking deliveries from the boat, and so we are now well and truly moved – apart from the furniture which may or may not be on the island. If it is, I hope it is somewhere dry…!
