Living on a Greek island

Symi Dream - Living on a Greek island

Turning weather

Turning weather
The weather has turned. Woke to a grey and blustery day today, though the wind is from the south and so it’s not too cold. I just popped out to the shop and felt a few spots of rain, and it’s due to get worse. [Note: remember to close the shutters later.]

Another shot of the sunrise last Wednesday in Rhodes; walking around from Akandia harbour to Mandraki, being followed by a very loyal dog, carrying the cat in a box and trying to wake up.

It looks like the Saturday trip to Tilos was a great success and much enjoyed. I haven’t heard the score from the football match but I know the junior team won 5:0 in Rhodes (I think it was) the other day. That’s about as far as my football knowledges stretches at the moment.

The park on the edge of the Old Town/Mandraki in Rhodes in the late afternoon light, November.

I am off out later to celebrate Miss DJ’s birthday at Mandeio (happy birthday for yesterday, I’m writing this on Monday), although I think Neil will be staying in as he is the latest victim to fall foul of a nasty tummy bug that’s going around. There were some very unmusical sounds coming from the bathroom this morning. So, that’s the cat been through it and now Neil, I hope it avoids me, someone has to keep dishing out the medicines.

This crest, on a building in the main path through Horio, suggests a one-time British consulate operated from here… I guess.

I just had a look through some recent photos that have not yet been posted, so that’s what you have today, and probably tomorrow. I’ve put captions beneath them to explain what they are. Have a good day, I am off to batten down the hatches.

Saw this lying around a lane in the village. It looks like someone won the giant panda teddy bear and then broke the crane machine. Has anyone actually won anything from those arcade machines where the bears/toys are stuffed so far into each other that nothing is going to move unless you had a claw like this one?
