Please do not turn off Symi Dream, we are updating: 5%
A few photos today, taken while wandering around the village on my way to Taxiarchis Apartments. As you can see, a lovely sunny day. I carried a hoodie with me all day and all evening but didn’t need it at all. It was one of those feast days, lunch at the Olive Tree, dinner at Trata…

I would be writing more today, I was up early enough but someone up there in the cloud decided my laptop needed an update: ‘Please don’t turn off your computer, this could take some time, Windows will restart…’ Two hours later… The only thing that I can see is different is that they’ve unhelpfully changed the main menu to icons (simple enough to work out but… why?) and now all my programme icons on my task bar occasionally flash on and off as something sweeps through them. Firefox is taking longer than usual to do its stuff and… well, everything else looks the same.

So, that was a wonderful waste of two hours, hanging around and coming back every ten minutes to see if I had progressed from 5% updated. Actually it wasn’t a waste of time as it gave me an excuse to read some more of a friend’s short stories that are going for publication later this year. In a word, delicious (all revolving around a certain, small Greek island). I’ll tell you more when I am able to and when the book is published.

Meanwhile: Friday morning, the washing is on, we’re heading into Yialos later this morning for the post office (I think my ‘FitBit’ has arrived), a look at the shops and then lunch. There are no plans yet for this afternoon and evening so it could be a night in at home. That’ll be novel.
