A Model Afternoon

Looks like we’re in for a wet and windy today, so that’s me staying at home. I’m out all day tomorrow in Rhodes (unless the weather stops the boats), so I’ll save my energy for that, and spend today at the desk and/or on the sofa. Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours at the kitchen table with our godson. He’s currently building a Yamaha something, and I am working on another Phantom of the Opera, taking myself back to when I used to make these models when I was about 12. The Cutty Sark is as finished as it’s going to be and in the sitting room. I’ll try and get a decent photo of it one day.

What’s happening out and about? Don’t know really. I saw some visitors on Sunday. At least, they looked like they had just come off their sailing boat, dogs included, and were exploring the village, maybe looking for somewhere to have dinner.  The first charter flights arrived in Rhodes last week or at the weekend, so that season has started early for someone somewhere. I remember being in Rhodes in March one year, years ago, and the hotel telling me they already had visitors from Germany, and when we were there in February, there were already two cruise ships in, and sightseeing and tourist buses were running, though maybe just for the one day. I wonder how it will be tomorrow. I’ll let you know when I get back online on Thursday.
