Snoozing Cats

A welcome cool breeze has come up in the last few hours and the flags are fluttering in the harbour. The Symi II is just pulling out of Yialos, heading round to Panormitis, and the afternoon’s new yacht arrivals speckle the horizon, masts wavering as they motor in. Distant white triangles indicate those who prefer Pedi for the evening.

Speaking of distant white triangles, the awnings are up at Tholos taverna on the point and the umbrellas outside the Nireus Hotel harmonize elegantly with the waving palm trees outside Symi police station . Every day more places are open for the season. Walking down the Kali Strata early this morning I disturbed several snoozing cats testing the directors’ chairs at the Kali Strata bar for comfort.

The present heatwave is countrywide and all of Greece has been basking in unseasonably high temperatures. The maximum is around 34 degrees centrigrade at midday, dropping to about 20 degrees at night.

Have a good week.
