And Rest…

Another chilly day today, but not as windy, so hopefully, we won’t have to have all heaters running all day, and we might be able to open shutters later and air the house. Meanwhile, the dehumidifier is running to draw the damp from the bedroom, but the bathroom is a lost cause. Well, it’s not, […] The post And Rest… appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Something of a Chill
Symi Dream

I’m coming to you today wearing three jumpers, with both heaters on, and a hole in the sitting room window. It’s still rather blowy out there, so much so, it blew off part of the frame around the ox-eye, allowing the north wind to come straight in. Later, we’ve got the unenviable task of getting […] The post Something of a Chill appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Weather

Just a quick update today, and mainly about the weather, and because I got up very late (for me), because I didn’t want to leave the warmth of a duvet, quilt, and two blankets, which is kind of what we need in the middle of winter. At least we’re not rushing to catch a 4.30 […] The post Weather appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Another pleasant day yesterday, though still with a chill in the air, and damp around the place. After work, I took a walk down to the main road and back up it, had a look at the new treatment plant, which is coming on, wandered home again, made lunch, did the piano thing, and made […] The post Another Pleasant Day appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Symi on TV

Isn’t it odd how the power of television still grabs? We walked into Rainbow last night to discover Symi on the TV. Actually, as we arrived, it was Takis on TV showing his incredible leather work. Later, we had a guided tour of Yialos, a quick foray into Horio, a drive across the island to […] The post Symi on TV appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Rain Again and Train

Yesterday was a fun day. Despite waking up at 4.30 like the good old days, I was bright and dandy in the morning and managed to get a few thousand words written for the next Delamere book. I am currently tied up in a mystery to which I know the ending, but not the path […] The post Rain Again and Train appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Symi in Spring

Three photos today to show Symi in spring: The clear blue sky and sea, the abundance of green, and the dampness of the stone. Damp is an issue in winter and this year seems to be the dampest I can remember. For the first time in ten years we’ve had trouble with black mould in […] The post Symi in Spring appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Unexpected

Let’s start today of with an unexpected photo of Yiannis doing some wiring work in the bar on a January evening. I think he was tidying up the internet line to the modem. This, a few years ago, would have been an unheard-of sight – a modem in the Rainbow Bar I mean. Not so […] The post Unexpected appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

Finishing the Weekend

Continuing the brief chat about the weekend… The Rhodes boat on a Friday may as well be called the Symi boat as half the island seems to pop across that day. Mind you, it’s a decent sailing time (08.45) whereas the others are much earlier. It also means you see a fair few familiar faces […] The post Finishing the Weekend appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more

An Interesting Three Days

Well, that was an interesting three days. I’ll drop in the details during the week, but the weekend included boats, lots of walking, cracking joints, a cracking lunch, good fun, a certain amount of money, frustration, laughter, good food, good company, and now, is being rounded off by a bad back and a nice cup […] The post An Interesting Three Days appeared first on Symi Dream ..read more
