Bank Holiday Long Weekend
The bank holiday long weekend has brought quite a lot of activity to the harbour and there were more boats in Yialos early this morning than we have seen in a long time. The Symi was also quite full when she docked at 13.00. Lots of schoolchildren on an excursion, accompanied by teachers sounding ever more desperate.
The town crier has been announcing over the tannoy at roughly 15 minute intervals that a special ceremony to honour the director and scriptwriter of the Greek soap opera, Joanna of the Heart, will be taking place at the Opera House hotel function room tonight.
The weekend’s strong north westerly winds have blown away the dust, revealing rows of cut out purple hills on the opposite shore. The last spot of snow on the Turkish mountains visible from our garden has vanished completely. Temperatures are still in the low twenties but it is just that bit too cold to be sitting outside much after sunset. The fireside beckons.
Our adolescent rooster is driving everyone crazy with his attempts to crow. He still can’t quite get it right, even though he practices all night, and the cockerels in the valley respond by demonstrating exactly how to do it. The new crop of spring chicks are now a month old and practicing flying.
Have a good week, and an enjoyable break to those of you on holiday.
Regards,
Adriana
