I’ve run out of exciting stories from Rhodes last week and am now back to the usual day-to-day with whatever photos I can find lying around. Oh, I found this one…
That was as I was about to leave Rhodes, which was, at that time, under a heavy, dark cloud. I don’t think it rained, though. It’s all very quiet here now. I say that, but yesterday, I popped down to the bar in the afternoon and managed to grab more or less the last seat. Then, more people arrived, and I had to help Neil put out more tables and chairs. Maybe because today is Oxi Day, a national holiday, and people have come over for a couple of days to see the parade later this morning. Maybe it was the extended family who were visiting for a night or two, I don’t know, but late afternoon in the square was busy – and there are still day boats coming across from Rhodes.
I was told that the road has now been fixed at the ‘new’ port at Petalo, but don’t quote me on that as it was kafeneion chatter. What is for real, though, is that the layout guys have sent back the first copy of the new book, so I must now go and search through that for any last minute fixes, and hopefully, there will be none (or only a few as there is always a widow or orphan wandering lost among the pages), and I can start publishing it. Which reminds me, I must remind the designer to send over the full cover so I can also put up the paperback version. And on to the next one…
