You’ll be pleased to know I’ve not been ruffled by any Fakebook posts so far today. Well, one, actually. Another Greek-themed group where someone had posted a photo of a quayside in Greece showing three people walking by a row of boats. In it, it appears as though two guys are holding hands while a woman walks behind and to the side. Someone had described the image as ‘disgusting’ and so disgusted were they, that they put a second comment with the same word. I replied because I agreed with them. ‘I know,’ I wrote. ‘That woman should NOT be wearing red shorts.’ Let his feathers be ruffled, I say.
And that’s about all I have to say today, except, I didn’t get up to very much yesterday: working, writing, playing ‘Sherlock’ on my tablet during downtime, catching a nap, watching TV… Oh, I did take the rubbish up to the bin, yahoo! We also popped out to Taverna Zoi for lunch.
After that, it was a job to move anywhere, and I didn’t much, but poor old Neil had to cover two shifts at the bar. There was a baptism up at Roukouniotis yesterday, and the after-show party was to be held at Georgio’s in the evening, no doubt making Rainbow and Lefteris bars busier than usual. I shall find out later. Tonight, in the village square, a man who would be mayor is holding his village hustings, and that’s expected to be busy too. I think the local elections are next month, and the political machine is already in motion. Tbh, I am not taking too much interest because there is nothing I can do about it. Since the yUK pulled out of the EU via Brexit (how’s that going for ya?), I have no right to vote in local or European elections. Since the ‘You-know-who’ party has still not fulfilled their promise to return voting rights to countrymen who live abroad, I have no vote in the yUK either. This means the only democratic vote I have anywhere is for the Goodreads Book Cover of the Month Awards, and similar; hardly likely to change the powers that be.
So, the build-up to the local and wider elections will rumble on with me as an outsider, and I will ramble on rumbling with my day-to-day first thoughts. Thanks for your recent comments on the FB page. Always good to read, and I’m only sorry I don’t get around to individual replies. If you want to comment on the posts you see here, you’ll have to do it through the FV page. Anyway… Off to editing land now, thence, I believe, to Yialos for lunch with our Neice before she heads to Athens on the boat that will be very late because of a strike yesterday. By the time she gets to board, I will be in the land of nod. And that’s my day planned.
