It’s still only May and already the diary is filling up! Monday evening: friends around for drinks and to see the new house.
Tuesday afternoon: online meeting with the Editor. Tuesday evening, Taverna Zoi is opening and we are booked in for a meal. Saturday evening we are invited for drinks. Next week we have another evening at home with friends… It’s a wonder we get any time for any work.
Monday morning the alarm went off at 5.45, though I was already awake. Not because of the Alarm Cat, he went on the night before and didn’t come home until around half eight in the morning, quite early for him. He seems to be enjoying his new neighbourhood now, but I’d love to know where he goes. Anyway, I was up early and went straight out, this time towards To Vrisi the monastery on the side of the hills overlooking the Pedi Valley.
It was a great Symi sunrise, as you can see from the photos.
I’m looking forward to my trip to Tilos which isn’t until the end of the month. The other day people were asking when I was going, then some thought I had gone and come back, and then someone asked me again when I was going so I volunteered to go tomorrow if they were that keen to get rid of me. Don’t know why I said I’d go at the end of the month, thinking of pay day I guess. But still, less than three weeks and I shall be away.
I’ve been working on the new book bit by bit when I can, but what with all these visitors and blog posts and housework, and trips to Yialos for things, and dinners and so on, it’s a wonder I’ve got anything typed at all. But I am doing what I can when I can.
And that includes today, so now I am cutting myself shorter than I usually am and heading off into novel land. Have a nice day!
