Mud Rain

It is cloudy and humid on Symi today and a tepid breeze is flapping the symivisitor.com banner against the wall outside. The Symi ferry is running her engines, warming up to depart at 16.00, and the hydrofoil has just come in so there is a lot of bustle going on in our neighbourhood. Speaking of ferries, at present the ANES timetable is rather alarming as although the Proteus is back the Symi car ferry disappears without trace after 15 June, giving the impression that there is no evening boat from Rhodes on a Wednesday and not much else besides. We have been assured that this is because the new boat should come into operation by then but its schedule cannot be publicized until it has been approved by the ministry of the marine. So, don’t panic!

We had a visit from the military this morning in the form of four armed crash boats full of strapping lads which did a turn round the harbour and then roared off in formation. I would put up a photograph if it weren’t for the recollection of what happened to the ‘plane spotters’!

Partly cloudy, warm and humid conditions are expected to prevail this week and there is the promise (threat?) of an occasional muddy sprinkle. We’ve just finished cleaning the windows after last week’s episode. For those of you who don’t know what red rain/mud rain/blood rain looks like, today’s picture is for you! This isn’t a piece of abstract art, it’s a shutter.

Have a good week.
