We had something of a stormy start to the weekend. The main Athens-Rhodes ferry, the Blue Star Patmos, didn’t come in at 7.30 on Friday, but was postponed until around midnight. So, that put paid to my follow-up dentist visit. Mind you, I wouldn’t have been able to get down to the boat at the time it was originally due, as it was far too dangerous to be out and about on Friday morning. We had the towels down to catch the water blowing into the porch, and others beneath the bathroom window (which doesn’t shut properly), and under one window where we’d forgotten to close the shutters. We did manage a shopping expedition on Friday evening, between the downpours, and stopped to say hello at the bar. The storm raged on through the day, off and on, and came back again on Saturday, but by Sunday, everything was back to normal.
Apart from our house, where Neil made a Hungarian goulash, and we both contributed to an Austrian apple strudel, and after lunch, three of us watched the original stage production of Into the Woods, among other theatrical delights on YouTube. Probably not your typical Symi Sunday, but there you go.
And here I go, as I have just received the final, proofed draft of ‘1893’, and I need to get on with my last readthrough before I send it off to be formatted.
