In house, at desk, washing machine going in utility room next door, Neil at work in his office, Jack having a good old ding-dong with Ginger over whose courtyard this is now, and I can see the lorry driving along the quayside below.
That’s THE lorry apparently. Okay, so when you read this it’s actually yesterday morning but that’s because I have a busy day and evening planned and will want an early start tomorrow. So, blog done and out of the way seems the way to go today. Apparently Lefteris is delivering lots of Ikea things to The Olive Tree (for us) at ‘messimeri’ – midday, or thereabouts. We shall be waiting here, or hereabouts, hanging around like a couple of eager furniture removers, or layabouts.
(Old ‘Carry On’ gag twisted a little there, sorry.)
Not sure if the fridge freezer is among the items that are apparently on their way to the village any time soon, that’s coming from a different supplier, but we’ve prepared the sitting room as best we can for the sofas, and then, once they are in, will upturn the bedroom so we can make room to make up the wardrobe. Sam might be coming to help later as he’s a Wiz with Ikea instructions. Anyone who can build today’s Lego challenges without any hassle can surely cope with Ikea instructions.
And then, later today, after bringing things up the hill and hopefully having time to put some together, we are off for a tap practice, postponed from Monday due to it being Clean Monday. It seems so long since I’ve been (as the previous Monday was moving in day and we were shattered) that I can’t remember what my feet are meant to do. No doubt we will get a gentle, or not so gentle, reminder later.
So, that’s yesterday for you. On Wednesday we went out and about for a brief walk, so there are a few village walk shots to add to the blog including a few chickens, and the boat coming in bringing our delivery – and probably some other more important things too. I mean to say that when Neil was at the doctor’s surgery in Yialos on Wednesday morning, half the town council were also in there with a video camera. Apparently some new equipment had arrived and there was a bit of a publicity thing going on. Not sure what new equipment, but no doubt I’ll find out one day.
Oh, and our digital channels have now disappeared from the TV; will have to pop down to Yialos and see what needs doing/buying in order to get them back. Will also check the post office where hundreds of sacks of delayed mail arrived on Wednesday.
