…is upon us. The day, at this end of the island, has started grey and chilly, a little damp, but calm and quiet. Hardly any boats down in the harbour (that I can see, but I can only see half of it), and the Blue Star isn’t in yet. That’s expected in about an hour, and when it comes in, I want to watch it unload. Some years, around the start of the festival and around Easter, the early boat comes in and disgorges a line of cars which snake from the port all the way up the hill and off into who knows where. In today’s case, to the limited amount of parking at Panormitis, I expect, and to family and holiday homes, some hotels, maybe, but any traffic in today will mainly be for the festival. If I see or take any images, I will post them.
Meanwhile, it’s the same old same old for me, though I have some things to set up via my online banking. I managed to pay the landlord this month’s rent and January’s rent at the same time with – I forgot to postdate the second one when I was setting them up – so that’s to be done. Housework (maybe), writing (definitely), and some other bits and pieces around the house to be seen to.
Here are a couple more shots of the harbour during the week. It was quiet up until a few minutes after we finished lunch, then, with two boats in, things really picked up. The Nikolaos X left for the winter yesterday (long, long blast on horn as leaving), and Neil’s final day at work today may or may not happen. Yiannis will ring him if needed – so if you were planning on coming down, Miss DJ, check with Neil first.
