Window View
Sorry, today’s photos are just (through the) window views; I’m not moving very far from home at the moment. We are sharing this cold, you see. Neil started it off, and I followed one day behind. So, on Monday when he was sofa ridden and wailing like sneezing banshee, I was fit enough to do the chores, go to Yialos and back and so on. Yesterday, it was the other way around, and I stayed home. Mind you so did Neil but then we didn’t need to go out.
Actually, we do, or we did, as I am writing this yesterday… Usual thing; write posts one day and post them the next, so I don’t have to think of something to write at 5.30 in the morning like I used to. Anyway, we are going out later today (yesterday) because it’s Miss DJ’s birthday and we’re meeting for coffee (euphemism) and cake in the square, either at Rainbow or Lefteris’. Possibly Lefteris’ because Yianni Rainbow hasn’t been open in the mornings of late, but Yianni Lefteris has – I know, it gets confusing, stay with it.
There’s that to look forward to and the good-boys coming for tea on Friday, and hopefully some better weather. Not complaining, the sternas, plants, reservoirs and muddy paths need it and it’s not been as bad as a few weeks ago. It’s warm too. It was 14 degrees at six the other morning and then 18 during the day. As you can see from the photos, one moment it’s clear and bright and the next it’s cloudy and dark. All adds to the ‘what’s going to happen next?’ feel of a Symi winter.
Finally quick note: the idea to raise money through the sales of Symi, Stuff & Nonsense and the other Symi books in my collection, is going well. I hope to meet with one of the teachers soon to find out exactly what they need, and then, after Christmas, I can set about buying them. All of my Symi books (including Jason and the Sargonauts, which is a comedy ‘Dan Brown’ set on Symi now and over 100 years ago). You can find all the titles here.
