A lovely, calm, cold day yesterday had me digging out the thermals. I feel warmer already. Mind you, I do have the heater on right next to me, plus three layers of clothing. But, with no wind this morning, it doesn’t feel as cold as yesterday. Not that we should be complaining about the cold, but we do; no central heating, no carpets, the occasional gap at window and door, high roof, stone walls, no insulation… all perfect for summer, but it’s always a shock when the first real cold of the winter kicks in as it has over the last couple of days.

Yialos, main square

But enough of that! As you can see from today’s few photos, it was a lovely day all the same. There’s a children’s fairground set up in the town square, the children are preparing for Christmas school plays and church events – there was a priest and his group of children and parents rehearsing in Mandeio’s yesterday afternoon when we popped down there for a social hour or two. We were serenaded by a small choir rehearsing their chanting/singing and it was very pleasant.

Looks warm, but…

Remember the Christmas Fayre that’s on at the sports centre this weekend – details in yesterday’s post – I think we are popping down there this afternoon to take a look around with the godboys, so there’s that to look forward to and then a weekend with nothing planned, apart from finding the tree and putting that up and then present wrapping. I think the writing will be on hold for a couple of weeks now and I’m looking forward to the break, not that I’ve done much these past couple of weeks either. It’s a slow wind-down to next weekend and the week off I have promised myself the week after. Hope you enjoy a few photos from yesterday.
