Wind, Walks, Waiting
Meanwhile… Hatches were battened down on Sunday afternoon and evening when the wind got up, bringing colder air with it. It was still pleasant in the sun but after dark, not so much. Monday dawned bright and a breezy, with the Independence Day parade taking place in Yialos. See the Symi Dream, Facebook page, and I will share photos there if I can. Today, there are some images from a walk along the hillside. As you can see, the spring flowers are coming out, and the hills are green with the oregano, thyme and other wild herbs that grow there. As long as they are not on someone’s land, you can pick these and believe me, they are far stronger than anything you will buy in a shop.
As for the rest of my week… It’s a birthday drink at the bar later today, dinner with the godboys on Friday and there is a memorial service for Wendy at the chapel in Pedi on Sunday morning at 11.00, where everyone is welcome to attend. Unless we get a call from our health insurance agent, we are not planning to go anywhere (apart from those mentioned events), but she may ring and call us to Rhodes on Friday. Apparently, Euromedica where we have our annual MOTs done is changing hands at the end of this month and we can’t get in before then. I assume they are rearranging their insurances or staff or something, but hopefully, we’ll get our checks done before the season is too advanced. If they leave it too much longer, Neil will have to take a day off work to go, and we were hoping to spend a night or two in Rhodes rather than just one day. Anyway, a couple more photos and I’m off.
