I have one planned. Or semi-planned, as I’ve not planned to do anything except to do very little. Happy first of the month, by the way! I’ve turned over the last page in this year’s Symi Dream calendar, and noted the big days for this month; Christmas, of course, and the day we leave to go to Athens between Christmas and New Year, and next Friday, which is when Neil returns from his trip to Austria. Today, he, his brother and some friends are heading to Bratislava for the weekend to celebrate the brother’s 60th in the manner in which they celebrated his 50th; with beer.
That’s their big ‘quiet’ weekend, mine will start when I finish work this morning and run down to Yialos to collect two packages, check the post office, and get some cash (yes, it’s still used here). After that, I have an afternoon of writing, which is what I intend to do over the whole weekend unless anything else comes in. Meanwhile, I’ll refer you back to the Symi Dream calendar, and remind you that, as they can take a couple of weeks to arrive, now’s the time to order yours and a few extra for presents, so you can share the unique images of Symi with friends and family.
I’m a dreadful salesman, so I won’t go on, but I’ll share the link. Just click it to find the page where you can also run a preview of the calendar: Symi Dream, Calendar 2024.
There you go. That’s me set for a couple of days of typing, some wandering aimlessly about the village taking photos if I remember, and maybe working on that Mozart sonata that has lain long neglected on the piano for a few weeks now. The air is slightly chillier today, but no sign of clouds or high wind. The Blue Star came through yesterday at some unusual time, and that could only have been due to bad weather somewhere. Now, apparently, it’s running late but will catch up on its usual schedule after the weekend. At least, that was the last I heard, and that was my last word until Monday. Here’s wishing you a good month ahead.
