Saturday today, sunny, 34dgs in the shade and I am having a rest from bathroom chores. Mrs D is up to a spot of painting in, yes you guessed it - the bathroom. I will be glad when it is done and we can have a well earned rest. It gets a bit tedious looking out at the sunshine everyday (sorry.)
Apart from the bathroom whats happened this week......we went to see a Jacko tribute artist last Sunday - he was very good at it too...apparently he won stars in their eyes on UK TV. He does a slot here in Sidari twice weekly and turns up in a big black limo. It was quite funny because the same night there was an array of tribute artists within ten yards of each other; there was a Freddie Mercury, a Robbie Williams, a Meatloaf and an Abba....such choice. Wednesday eve we went to see some local guys doing rock covers in a bar we frequent called 1 for the road. It is run by a Greek guy who calls himself Napoleon (Nappy locally) and he runs a very good bar. There is always good music, free drinks in various colours, a grand little spot. Last night we went out with friends to see a comedian who was a little on the Bernard Manning side.....don't think we'll be rushing back to see him again. Tomorrow eve there is a beach party with live rock music happening over in St Stephanos beach, we thought we'd give it a try.
So you see we do have a little bit of playtime.....The bathroom this week has not gone without incident with 2 tap problems on Monday and plasterboard adhesive everywhere on Tuesday when we attempted to mix it. Mrs D learned some new choice words - not funny - I was seething. We hope to be tiling tomorrow so our make shift shower in the bathroom will be out of action.....but we have rigged up a temporary one - in the garden. A bit public, but it does the job. Problem is as it is usually evening when you shower & you have to leg it from the shower to the house and try and beat the mozzies!! If you don't move quickly you get bitten to buggery tripping across the garden. All good fun and makes for a good tale.
Well 4 weeks today our autumn visitors start to arrive and it looks like September and October will be like June was. Two rounds in September, one September/October and then another in October. Times flying, we will be making our way back to the UK before we know it at this rate.
We did promise ourselves a bit of a break over on the mainland after the bathrooms done, we will see how times looking. We fancy going over to Ioannia and camping and looking at the Vikos Gorge - which according the Guinness book of records is the deepest in the world!! Its about 60 miles from Igoumenitsa which is the mainland port we would sail too from Corfu.
With the gentle waft of paint fumes now blowing over I'd best go and see if Mrs D has keeled over in the heat - been struggling a bit the last few days....will keep you posted.
Y'all keep in touch now . . . . D & L
