What can I tell you? It’s still pleasantly warm, there are fewer boats coming in but still day trippers, and the Blue Star timetable and booking only reaches to the first week in November at the moment. Hopefully, that will be extended soon. I expect the company is waiting to hear the details of subsidies before deciding what will be possible and profitable. On Friday, we went for a short walk through the boat yard at Harani…
Yesterday saw the Oxi Day parade in Yialos, and today has dawned clear, calm and a little humid. I have half a chapter to write after this, yesterday my piano pupil sightread an entire Bach prelude at a reasonable pace and with more than reasonable accuracy, and right now, Neil is throwing weights around the living room while my lightbulb flashes on and off as though I were in a 1980s disco. (Note: Must buy a new bulb.)
As you can see, not a lot to report today. I’ve been doing some writing and a fair amount of little else, and I must force myself out of the door for more strolls around the neighbourhood while the good weather lasts. On the one hand, we want it to stay warm so the cost of heating is lower, but at the same time, some rain wouldn’t go amiss. Apparently, we’re going to see longer, hotter and drier summers followed by warmer and drier winters, which sounds lovely, but which will eventually cause problems through lack of rain. Which reminds me, we must buy some paint for the roof. I’ll put that on the shopping list for later too.
