To End the Week

I woke up this morning to find myself thinking I was chilly. There’s a bit of a breeze, you see, and that means the temperature was only 25°, though the thing on the wall says the humidity is still 70%, but it doesn’t feel like it. I might have to put a T-shirt on as I sit here by the open window, with the fan going beside me out of habit.

Another habit: ending the week with a selection of photos because I’ve run out of things to say. Today’s are an odd mix of my trip to Rhodes on Wednesday, some research I’ve been doing, and a rather nice one of my desk in the early morning. That’s my A to Z of London as it was in 1888, a book published in the 1980s containing maps drawn and published in 1888, and very useful for being accurate when talking about journeys, and when finding places that existed then, but don’t now.

The food image was taken at Nimmos Taverna in Rhodes Old Town. This is the place I use when on my way back to the Blue Star at Akandia, as it’s not a long walk after lunch. You arrive on Rhodes in the early morning, get all your jobs and visits done, and then have a late lunch at Nimmos with ‘the boys’ who I’ve kind of known since they were six or seven and who are now in their late 20s, and then waddle off to the boat afterwards, sometimes via Kanadis Street and the large supermarket to pick up decently priced tea bags and the like.

The rest are simple random shots, so enjoy them and have a good weekend.
