A roadside fig that I had given up for dead has suddenly expressed a new interest in life.

The pedalo has joined the wet bikes by the roadside in Lieni.

The faults in the fall on the roof of the sports facility have been corrected and the workmen are replacing the grouting.

Wrapping up for the winter - the seats on this water taxi are now shrouded in black plastic bin bags.

Sunlight reflecting on the glass screens at Aris taverna next to the war memorial.

Wendy and Andy loading donations for Solidarity Symi into a golf car they borrowed from Manos so that they could take them round to the old post office.

Touching up the bows of the Panagia Skiadeni.

A calm interlude in the harbour.

The globe artichokes are waking up  in my garden.

The view from the bridge. The big stone building on the left houses the Symi branch of the National Bank of Greece.

A seasonal sight - a large water drum on the move.  The crowd in the background are waiting for the noddy train to Nimborio.
