Thanks and some photos (from the other day and night)
Busy Sunday evening in the harbour, loads of boats in. Not all of them were tied up properly by the sound of it. When the Dodecanese Pride came in and caused its usual wake there were two boats banging each other around something rotten. Luckily it didn’t last for long. We had a great dinner at To Spitiko courtesy of Steve and Liz – thank you!
People have been very generous of late and have said that it is to say thank you for the blog. This isn’t a hint to anyone else coming this way soon that enjoys the blog and who we may bump into. I enjoy witting the blog and do it for a couple of reasons. It was to help boost publicity for our own shop as well as the island; now it’s to boost publicity for Symi and also my books and Neil’s calendars – which is why some days there is talk about what I am writing and other days there is talk about where we’ve been and what we’ve seen, like the other day when talking about Tholos restaurant. It depends what we’ve been up to – most of the time, for me these days, it’s being at home working on things and trying to save money, so sometimes it’s not very exciting. Other times I think of something funny to say and other-other times I can’t think of anything to say so I tell you stuff like this.
But I can tell you: Thank You! To everyone who comes up and says they enjoy reading the blog. If you’ve also read any of the books and enjoyed them, the best thank you that you can give is leave a review on Amazon as the more reviews a book gets the more they publicise it. I think you need something daft like 50 reviews for a book before they do but I have already had emails from them about my own work. ‘Dear Mister – we thought you might enjoy reading…’ and there are my titles. Actually no, I don’t enjoy rereading them as I always want to change things, which is why I carry on with something new as soon as I feel happy with a final draft. But if you do want to write a review (please do) then you can find my author’s page here.
That is the Amazon.com site (USA) but the titles are all there and you can search for them in the Amazon store for your country and then add any reviews you might like to. Thank you!
