Quick post as I’m not here
I’m not here today. Neil is at home and I am in Rhodes with the godsons who are going to meet their dad from the plane. I should be back on Thursday though and will aim to get a decent post done then.
Meanwhile, I’ve been asking around about these health books that workers (in certain jobs) need to get done before legally being able to work. I might have mentioned it yesterday but one of the things you have to do is have a ‘health book’ stamped and test results authorised by a doctor in order to get your papers finalised. This was never a problem on Symi, not recently anyway, but now the doctor who was able to stamp the books is no longer here and so it means another trip to Rhodes. Not only that but it could mean a trip one day for tests, and another on another day for results and book-stamping; all to be done during the hours the Blue Star is in Rhodes, between 9.30 and 15:00 or between 9.30 (ish) and 19:00. I’ve been making enquiries and if anyone has any ideas of a quick way of doing it all in one day, I’d love to hear about it. (I know about the general hospital though that system comes with no guarantees of a one-day turn around) and I’ve been in touch with Euromedica and await their reply.
Meanwhile, I’ve just been pottering around at home, dusting the red dust from the balcony and courtyard. This was brought down by some rain overnight on Monday which followed a pretty dramatic sky and sunset. The rain is now due to clear and the temperature should start to rise again with a forecast of sunshine and warming winds over the next couple of weeks.
I have to go now, sorry to be brief, but there are things to do before finding out where the boat is and heading back to Rhodes, again. I must go down to the sea again…
