I predict a random week, hence four random photos this morning. I don’t know why I am predicting this, probably because I have woken up with no idea what to put on this page, so you’re getting random thoughts. Having said that, the day has started with no random tune in my head, whereas most days recently have started with a song or a piece remaining on my mind after waking up, and being there for no reason at all. Today is an earwormless day.
As for the first random photo… The Blue Star leaving on a calm sea a few days ago.
There are a few things on my ‘to do when I get around to it’ list for this week. Mostly, these are jobs which have been waiting to be done for ages yet take only five minutes to achieve. Example: change the light fitting in the laundry. (Turn off the power, unscrew the old fitting, replace, and enjoy light for the first time in a year.) Another is to tighten the legs on the piano stool which is becoming as wobbly as my rendition of Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude, and another is to run the hoover over the office carpet.
Random photo number two, a view looking down the Kali Strata.
I’ll be taking that route tomorrow on the way to the harbour where we have to do a couple of random things. (Note: remember to see if the dreaded tax returns have been done yet.) Talking of downtown, the festival continues with concerts and dancing in the town square and elsewhere. For the first time in ages a couple of the bars are still open when I get up at 3.30, which means someone is having fun and someone else, hopefully, is making money. There are plenty of boats moored at the end of the harbour we can see from up here, and although I don’t go down there much, it looks like Yialos is keeping busy thanks to the many day boats and visitors. All good news.
Random photo number four is one of Neil’s and shows you the colours of most days.
I see in the national press that the great sunbed debate rages on: space on beaches, how beaches are never private in Greece, as all are publicly owned, and some places are taking up too much space, blah-di-blah. That’s one to keep an eye on. As for me this week, I have very little planned apart from the usual: get up, splurge some random words here, get on with other less random words for seven hours, take the rest of the day off to read. I am intending to release a new book this week – details will follow – while working on the next one because that’s my job. Otherwise, hopefully, a lunch with the godson, some piano playing, a short walk or two, and that light fitting to change, though that has waited a year, it can wait a little longer We shall see.
Final random shot, the sunrise at Pedi. Another Neil shot – oh and that’s something else on my list of ‘definitely to do’, I must upload next year’s Symi Dream calendar because Neil has chosen the images, and likes to get it online around now. Again, I’ll post news when I have it.
