Last night was Smoky Thursday, the first night of the Carnival season. The town hall organised a party in the square in Chorio, laying on free souvlaki and wine. It was an opportunity for the children to show off their fancy dress costumes for the first time and the weather only blew up at midnight, when everyone was pretty much partied out anyway.

The wind howled all night and this morning the inside of my house looked like a wedding venue after the guests had gone as thousands of almond petals had blown in through the whirligigs and down the chimneys.
The strike is officially over but all shipping in the region is now confined to port by a Force 9 gale and gusts of 50 miles per hour and more. The Proteus is tied up in Kos, the Aegli is tucked up in Rhodes and even the Dodecanese Pride failed to venture forth today. South-easterly gales bound straight intoYialos and we have been hammered by whirlwinds and squalls all day. The storm is expected to blow itself out at some point in the early hours of Saturday but further strong winds are forecast for Monday and Tuesday and the weather is likely to remain unsettled for some time.
Have a good weekend.
Regards,
Adriana
