A little wander up the road yesterday and took this photo looking down towards Pedi. I expect it’ll be slightly different today after an evening and night of rain and wind. It’s finally starting to feel like winter is on the way, though there’s still no need yet for the heaters to be dusted off.
There is the need for speed control, apparently. There’s now a sign on the main harbour/Horio road limiting drivers to 20 kph. As with many instructions around here, it’s more of a serving suggestion, but it is there for a safety purpose, because of work that’s going on to the surrounding area. That, I’m guessing, is for the treatment plant that’s going to go up on ‘council corner’, as it’s known colloquially. Where ‘it’ will all go after that remains a mystery, but then that mystery has been running for many years, though I don’t know where, and it’s not something I think of often.
Anyway, blustery and thus a little chilly today, I’ve not seen the sky yet so am not sure if I’m going to get up the hill again this morning, but I have a pile of things on the desk in need of attention. For example, an empty mug that needs refilling with tea, and an email to write. I ordered something from a company in Germany and it was sent a couple of days later via DHL. A week or so later, I started getting messages from DHL Athens saying I didn’t exist and they couldn’t deliver it to my address and it would be sent to the nearest post office. Fair enough. Then, another email saying they’d tried to deliver it, but I wasn’t at home, or something, and it would be sent to the nearest post office via Elta (again). Anyway, this continued for some time, I followed the tracking from Germany to Athens, to a couple of depots in Athens and now… back to Germany ‘unable to deliver.’ I’ve already written to the company once to suggest they use ACS or Elta, but am waiting to hear back. It’s been a few days, so another email is in order. I do have other things to do today, like work out how an unelected Prime Miniature can install a non-MP into his cabinet, especially after what the non-MP did to his country*, but that country has nothing to do with me anymore, so I shan’t worry. I shall go and write my email instead.
*Btw; I do know how that is possible, so no answers on a postcard, thanks.
