Having moved into “Another Day in Paradise” things quickly settled down to our usual winter routine. Louise would soon have us on the fast 800 – so every opportunity was grabbed by me with both hands for a meal out. The weather was fantastic as you can see from this picture of an early 5th November visit to Pythagorio and the traditional Ouzeri “Remetzo” for a meze.
The following day saw Louise’s starting her cold water immersion treatment while the pool was still clean enough to dip in.
The cat that Corrina had thought to be Buster in the end wasn’t. He was a bit similar in looks but not in the social graces. He and Lily did not have a great start necessitating a visit to the vet for a scratch on her back and later so have her back end looked at after some kind of attack. It did not bode well for the winter.
The 800 would not kick in properly until all our acquaintances had headed back to their own countries for winter so thankfully still some socialising to be had.
We decided to host a BBQ for Dani & Stella our Swiss friends and Nicolas, who as usual was the cook. Louise as per normal overdid with the food & wine provisioning but a great time was had by all. We did have to decamp back into the conservatory when the wasps took an interest in all the meat.

There followed a number of days out to “Hunters” cafe & the posh “Orizontas” restaurant offering bottles of wine in the 200 & 300 euros and more bracket. We stuck to the more reasonably priced Vakakis – a from nearby local vineyard that we had visited last year.

And finally a last day out at Aghios Konstatinos, a resort along the north coast the last get together before we all went our separate ways. Meant to be just lunch stretched into beyond sunset!
