A bit of a later entry today following the birthday festivities yesterday and an early alarm call from the cat, followed by dozing off on the sofa listening to the shutters rattle and the spare roof tiles clatter about above.
Thank you to everyone who sent messages and emails and texts yesterday, pretty overwhelming really. Hundreds of best wishes on Facebook too, and not just a quick ‘hippo birdy, two ewes.’ It was lovely, I had a great day and was ‘well spoiled.’ The next celebration in the social calendar will be Easter in a few weeks’ time.
It’s been very windy these last couple of days. There was (or still is) a ban on shipping so no big ferry is due in today, at least not at the right time. I just had a look at ‘live ships’ and it is still in Piraeus. It looks like the wind is coming from the east, or north-east; it looks like the sea is being blown inland.
I can’t believe it’s nearly nine and I haven’t even posted this yet, so I won’t hang around this morning, I’ll get these photos of yesterday up and leave it there. There is now some recovering and catching up on house duties to see to. (The cat litter got wet in the rain yesterday so that’s a job to look forward to. Not.) Thanks again for the birthday wishes; normal service will be resumed shortly.
