Weather watch service here – writing to you on Tuesday, so those heading out to Symi today might already have left and this is a bit behind, but there you go. Yes, we got some of the storm as promised, or at least we have so far. Rain on Monday night and a downpour on Tuesday, with heavy clouds and some wind getting up – that’s as of 11.30 yesterday morning.
I’m in the habit of writing a day behind, or rather a day in front and then having the post go live the next day, as you know, but the thing about the weather is that we get some kind of weather here all the time and what you see when you look out of your window is what you get. There’s nothing that can be done about it, so what can you do? Well, I can post some photos to show those who’ve not seen it before what the weather can be like on Symi through the year. And yesterday it was more like October/November, but that happens.
Anyway, enough of the weather, what else has been going on? Well, not a lot really – got a bad sore throat, first illness in many a month, possibly even a year or so, but it’s nothing that can’t be ignored so that’s okay. The plants have had a good watering, but no rain came into the house, apart from a little under a window but that was fine when I shut the shutters. And I’m back to the weather again.
Okay, how about this video instead. I found this via Solidarity Symi, the refugee (and local needy) charity that’s been set up, and I’ll include it down at the bottom so you can see the full thing. It’s about the refugee crisis. Please feel free to share this with anyone you know who says, ‘We’re full up,’ or ‘Not my problem,’ or anyone who fears an Islamic takeover of Europe, a breakdown in social infrastructure and so on. It explains everything and in a very clear way. Give it a watch and stay informed.
