1st February

Kalo Mina

The weather has started to pick up. It is still interspersed with the odd wild & windy day of which there have been a few this winter ! but when you get a good one like today it’s worth heading out.

This is Kokkari on the north coast not that far from Samos town. It’s where we went for lunch with Bru, Joni , Brian & Sara. Seems like ages ago, then only the southern hemisphere bods , Me, Joni & Bru braved the waves.

The Marina’s resident duck at Marcos for a beer.

I had one too,  just to be sociable.

20th February

Dino, Poppy, Louise & myself have been busy clearing the garden at the house. Dino is a daemon with the chainsaw and there will be a few large bonfires to come. Louise, Myself & Poppy are the gatherers-up but it’s a fair job let me tell you. The garden has been cleared over the last few weekends – what a difference. We think Corinna & Ton will be impressed.

However …………………

Lily is not ! She has seen her toilet area – previously overhung with trees & very sheltered for her morning ablutions – demolished. She christened it one last time in exasperation & then looked on unimpressed from the wall.
