It’s another shot from the balcony, I’m afraid, but one that was taken just after we had the first teaspoon of rain yesterday morning. There was more to come later in the day, and although not a great deal by Symi winter standards, there was enough to run down the wall and cause a puddle in the porch. Must get some roof paint when I am in Yialos on Thursday. The clouds had mostly cleared up by the afternoon, and today has started clear with only a few clouds in the distance. The air feels cooler, and it’s a case of shorts beneath, hoodie at the ready above. Too warm for a heater, not hot enough for a fan. An energy-saving time of year which will soon go one way or the other. I.e., back to warm one day, chilly the next, possibly wet the day after. We’re expecting more rain on Friday at the moment, but the forecast can quickly change at this time of year.
In other news… Don’t really have any, actually. I am coming towards the end of the first draft of the next mystery story. For those who follow my series, thank you. For those who don’t yet, you might like to take a look at the current one via my Amazon page (that’s co.uk, but any Amazon should do), and for the current series, click here. (That’s a universal link, so it should take you to your nearest Amazon.)
Okay, enough of self-promo, here’s some important news about tomorrow and why there is no reason to panic:
All Civil Defence alarm sirens across Greece will be tested on Wednesday, October 1, as part of the military exercise “PARMENION-25,” the Hellenic Police announced.
Usually, this thing goes off at 11.00 in the morning, and I always wonder, ‘If this was real, what exactly am I supposed to do?’ Hopefully, I’ll never know.
So, if you hear the siren in Symi tomorrow, don’t panic Mr Mainwaring, don’t panic! Now, here’s the garden rose.
