A quick catch up after the weekend
A few updates for you: Watch out if you are planning to use the Blue Star on Friday 23rd – there is currently strike action planned. Best to check with a travel agency or the shipping line first.
Secondly, remember the Symi salt I mentioned the other day? Well, apparently the salt pans are just north of Sarpes Bay, after the Nimos gap, opposite Plati island. They have a Facebook page if you would like to go and look and like it: Symi Sea Salt.
Meanwhile, there has been more work going on to the new jetty. There was a meeting recently and it was hoped, at that meeting, that the work could get back on schedule and be completed by the end of the year. The huge barge that came in the other day looked like it was carrying half the Parthenon, with large blocks with columns. I’ll see if I can get some photos.
The World has come and gone, the day-trippers remain plentiful from Rhodes each day, the temperature is back up (I am topless as I write this on Sunday afternoon, oh vicar!) and everything is still ticking along towards the end of the season in mid to late October.
In home news, The Alarm Cat is recovering from his field trip/holiday, he’s getting his voice back now after several days of silent bliss and he’s a bit more lively. We reckon he wore himself out over the ten days and it’s caught up with him. He looks to be on the road to being his usual self now though.
I’ve spent the weekend writing; various projects are on the go at the moment and there’s a lot I want to get down, and get down properly, but in the meantime, Remotely has been doing well on Kindle and in print and has got some great reviews. See the links on the right, as usual, where you can head straight to the books, some of which are about Symi.
And that’s it for this morning, back to the working week with a dentist appointment and one dinner invite in the diary so far.
