I’ll have to load up two blog posts today as I’ll be off to Rhodes tomorrow for a day trip, and won’t remember to post anything before I leave.
The day boats have been coming the other way too, and they’ve been full, or so I am told by those who go to Yialos in the morning – which I do when I need to. So, that’s good news for the businesses which have already opened. Many of them have, and most in the village have been open all winter anyway. The Kali Strat Restaurant with its outside seating hasn’t been, but is now again open for lunch and dinner should you be heading this way and up. The last I saw of Zoi’s Taverna there were building supplies outside, so it looks like that’s being done up soon, but it doesn’t usually open until May anyway, I think. The point is, there’s plenty open and plenty to do, though no taxi boats and beaches as yet.
Yesterday I dragged myself up to To Vrisi for the first time in a while. Actually, there was no need to ‘drag’ myself, I walked from home to there without stopping, though I did rest at the top to take a quick video for the Facebook page. I had to pause a while so my heavy breathing didn’t come out on the tape, and you should be able to see that short ‘reel’ over there in a day or so – or whenever I get around to posting it.
Today, if I go for a walk, it will be a shorter one because a) I have a chapter to finish, b) I will be doing lots of walking tomorrow, and c) I have a busy afternoon with my music pupil and model-building companion. Next on the bench is another car (for him), and here’s his last build.
I’ll finish for the week now, but will put up a set of pics for tomorrow so you have something to look at in the morning. In the meantime, I want to direct you over to the first book in my new Victorian mystery series, ‘Finding a Way.’ Why? Well, in the hope I will pick up some new readers, of course, but mainly, because of a review someone has left. Scroll down the page to the review titled ‘Find your way to reading this first book in a new series’ and then hit the ‘read more’ button. This kind person has gone to the trouble of leaving 1,000 very kind and honest words about the book – and he/she’s done it with the next two in the series as well! I was gobsmacked and more than a little pleased at words such as His brilliant use of words, particularly with the more colourful, learned characters, is almost poetic in nature, while still being incredibly funny to read.
Oh shucks. Stop it now. I’m off to finish chapter 111 of book four in the 3rd series of Clearwater World mysteries…
