Symi Calendar
I just wanted to start the week off with a couple of adverts. Sorry about that. It is getting closer to that time of year, and you may be short of gift ideas. Well, here are two for you; a Symi Calendar and a Symi book.
A Symi calendar with 12 images from Neil. You can only buy this through the link to the Lulu store, but from there you can change your currency and even the shop, to make sure you buy it from the one nearest to you. They usually arrive within a few days, and people love them. You can also see a preview on the Lulu page and flick through before you buy.
The latest book about living on Symi – and other travel tales and nonsense. The link is over there on the right, but it’s also here. The book has only been out a couple of weeks, but the reviews are good, I am pleased to say. A lot of people have commented that they have laughed out loud, hopefully in the right places. Again, the book is only available online but from all Amazon stores around the world.
And back to the day-to-day. A quiet weekend working on the usual things, some shopping in Yialos and a Saturday night out at the village hotspots. Well, a couple of drinks at Rainbow with the regulars, and a choice of background television programmes followed by dinner at Georgio’s next door. You know you’re a local when you’re squeezed inside despite outside being open and a large party due to arrive, no tablecloth (didn’t need it, we’re not posh), and all and everyone seeing to you. Someone cooking your chops on the grill, someone else getting up from the staff table to fetch the wine, young Lefteris (2) was back and helping out, the atmosphere was typical Saturday night and laid back, just as it should be. And the chops were magnificent. I’m not sure which dinosaur they came from, but they were enormous and tasty.
Sunday dawned with a light fall of rain and heavy grey clouds, but not a breath of wind, and it wasn’t cold. Still, Sunday morning is the time for catching up on bits and pieces, doing some shopping at the House of Fun (as opposed to the House of Fraser) by which I mean Sotiris supermarket, and chilling out before slipping back into the usual routine again today. Here’s wishing you a happy week ahead and don’t forget to share this post and links to anyone who might be vaguely thrilled to give a Symi Dream Calendar or a new book to someone else.
