A short Saturday post about post, and other things

Unusual photo: architect or builders’ plans drawn on the wall of a house they are working on

I thought of something interesting to tell you just now and now I can’t remember what it was. Never mind, couldn’t have been that interesting.

It might have had something to do with going for a walk, which we’re hoping to do on Sunday if this rain ever lets up and goes away. Actually Friday morning wasn’t too bad at first, sunny and cold, though the clouds soon rolled in over the mountain. At least it gave us a chance to get some of the floor towels dry. Mind you, the washing remains inside the house just in case so my view from the desk is of Spiderman socks and Superman sweatshirts, the equivalent of ‘Christmas jumpers’ in our house.

I’m still merrily making my way through some of my Christmas books, I now have a large pile of real reading and the possibility of several Kindle books too, on the tablet. I am starting to see how addictive these tablets are, I mean the hand held device ones, not any other form of tablets. I keep picking mine up and wondering what ‘ap’ I can put on next and then thinking, ‘I don’t actually need any kind of ap at the moment’ and putting it down again. I have put on one of those star map ones so I can see what constellation is what, but since putting that on we’ve had nothing but cloudy skies.

For those suffering withdrawal, the train ‘under cover’ for the winter

I’ve not been out and about much though Neil has been to the harbour a couple of times in search of a missing parcel from the mysterious TNT lady in Rhodes who rang on Christmas Eve and told us that the delivery would be with ‘Vasilis.’ Perhaps she meant Agios Vasilis, whose name day it was on New Year’s Day, but if she did then he still hasn’t delivered this particular parcel. Perhaps it will turn up eventually, I heard that there were delivery issues (as the Americans might say) over in the UK around Christmas.

So, a short blog post today, my fingers are cold and the internet is playing up, someone is cooking something in the kitchen and I have a book I want to start reading before lunch so the I can perhaps start writing my own one after lunch. Have a good weekend and, if the next walk happens tomorrow, no doubt there will be endless photos of it next week.
