Vegetables and other tourists
I expect you’ll be wanting to know how the showing of the Symi film, ‘The 13th’ went on Monday night. Well, at the moment I am not sure. I’m writing this early on Tuesday as I have a lot of jobs on today. When I know more I’ll let you know.
Those jobs include a complete clear-out of the cat litter tray (joy!), and I can’t wait for that. There are pleasanter things to be done though, I am planning a vegetable stew for lunch. Oh, the excitement of my life. Now that the boats are more regular here on Symi, there are more fresh vegetables in the shops, not that we do too badly during the winter months. Then, it’s a problem with weather and the supplies getting to the island; there’s not so much of an issue in the summer. But we do now have to compete with the tavernas and businesses, who have to make sure they get the best of the deliveries, of course. Up in the village, we have various outlets for fruit and veg, it’s a case of finding what you want, where you can, and at the best price. Anyway, the cat litter and the carrots won’t be mixed up in today’s concoction (I hope), and whatever I make up should last me the whole day and into tomorrow.
That was a bit domestic wasn’t it? I have also been to Yialos, and there were loads of people getting off the day-boat when I was there on Monday; a good sign? Well, many of them had their all-inclusive armbands on, and I expect were carrying packed lunches. Others were being herded to certain shops for talks, and tavernas for set meals. A few made it up to Horio, I saw them up here later, and maybe some will choose to come back and stay for longer one day. That’s the best way to see Symi, you can’t do it justice in three hours on a day-trip.
Anyway, must get on and sort the you-know-what before making my much talked about vegetable thing for later. More news on the film will follow if/when I get it.
