Just having a trawl through some recent photos and thought I’ll just put a few up for today as in know people like to see images, and big ones at that.
But before we get too carried away with it all, can I just ask you to drop a line to the UK press and tell them to stop scaremongering? As Adrianna said on her blog last week, yes there is money in the banks, no you’re not going to get yourself stranded without any cash if you come to Greece, and I can also add that you’re probably not going to find yourself strike bound either, especially if the government does actually pay its people, which is something it should put as a priority.
There’s no great crisis here as far as I can see, apart from the refugee one and the usual day to day crises that the country seems to deal with. Everything’s a drama in Greece after all, wailing, arms up in the air, oh no! Now someone’s put too much water in my ouzo, what shall we do? Better let the British press know so they can tell everyone not to go to Greece becasue it’s a danger zone or some other twaddle. I mean, does this looks like a danger zone to you?
And does it look like no one has any money in the banks? I say, do what my mum has just done. Book yourself a holiday to Greece, Symi for preference, and bring all your own currency with you and leave it all behind when you go. That way there won’t be a crisis, not that there is one (in the holiday area), at least not as much as the Brit-Tabs would have you believe. But then again, as I’ve not actually read one for a while, what do I know? Well, I know what I read online.
Anyway, that wasn’t where I meant to go with this post. Just feeling a bit silly really. Have had a great weekend and it’s now Monday morning and I’m getting ahead as I have a lot to do before I depart on the Friday night boat. We’re out to dinner tonight and yesterday we had a great barbeque in the village and a lovely Saturday before that and a great Friday before that. The cat was absent for Saturday night and all of Sunday and finally came home again Monday morning at 4.00 so I am a bit sleep deprived as well. And looking forward to guests we have calling in tomorrow and then again on Wednesday and then, I think, we’re entertainment free. And I wouldn’t be able to do all that if there was no money coming out of the ATM now would I?
