Hardy Souls

The day started with the rumble of thunder and drumming of rain on the roof – and the disgruntled squawks of poultry complaining at being so rudely awakened in the predawn gloom. Despite purpose built roosts and shelters my Symi hybrid chickens insist upon sleeping on the roofs of their hutches rather than inside, hardy souls that they are.

The Aegli left in a downpour at half past eight and it rained all morning. The sky is starting to clear now as the wind shifts to the north because, oh what a surprise, we have another northerly gale forecast for this weekend and this one is supposed to hit us Friday evening. We are hoping that the Aegli makes it back this afternoon, not least because the February Symi Visitor newspapers are on board.

The accompanying photographs were taken yesterday afternoon, as the rain clouds started to gather. A very different mood to Sunday’s windswept view of Pedi.

Have a good weekend.

Regards,
Adriana
