Off to Rhodes
We have decided to call the owl Eric. Why? It was Neil’s idea. There’s a song by The Alan Parsons Project called ‘Old and Wise’ and owls are supposed to be wise, and the song was partly written by Eric Woolfson, so there you go. I didn’t see him yesterday (the owl, not Mr Woolfson who, sadly, is no longer with us) and I doubt I shall see him today as I am in Rhodes, and I don’t think I saw him on the boat coming over. He may have flown… Actually, I am being silly, I am writing this on Tuesday, so I haven’t gone yet but, all being well, I’m in Rhodes today collecting mother from the airport, and Neil is at home tidying the house. I’ll be back this afternoon.
This means that there won’t be a blog on Thursday and, as I mentioned before, there may be fewer posts than usual over the next couple of weeks. I am taking a week off from work and other things from next Wednesday, but I will put up some photos and things if I can. We have various family members coming to visit and some to stay, so things could a get a little hectic.
The photos today, by the way, were taken at a concert in the village square a couple of weeks ago, maybe last week, I can’t remember. I only just found them on my camera. The concert was part of the Symi Festival, which is still going on. And, on a vaguely related note, I am told that the next screening of ‘The 13th‘ the film shot on Symi, will be on September 24th. I know some people wanted to see it again and others for the first time. I think I have that date correct. So, if you are on Symi on that date, then pop along to the venue (to be announced, but I assume either the sports’ centre in Horio or at Lefteris kafenion) and take a look.
