Third Visitors!!

























































Monday night seems to be airport night at the moment!! This time it’s Tom & Caz we are waiting for. Again they arrive pretty much on time so we are on our way home by 1030pm.

Tom & Caz came out for a week last year late on in September and had a few gloomy days weather, hoping for wall to wall sunshine this time for their 2 week break.

These guys are so easy to have around as they just want dropping in Sidari to go on a pedalo with a pita gyro and a mythos!! That’s about it really.

This time they did just that but they also booked a couple of trips, one to Corfu town in the evening and another down the east coast on a boat for the day. I also went scuba diving with them in Kassiopi. All in all, trips were good and a good time was had by all.

Toms DIY task was to help felt the roof over the front veranda. Tiles off, felt on and tiles back on again. The day came, after telling Tom the night before but it just happened to be one of those nights that they didn’t come in ‘til 6 in the morning. I was up and ready, raring to go when Tom appeared at 0930 allegedly “fit for work!!”

Tiles came off easy enough, roof was a mess underneath and sadly had to have some new timbers before we could felt it. We also found under there, a multitude of birds nests, snake skins and geckos. All now evicted and selling “The Big Issue” we set about putting the tiles back on. All went well ‘til we realised we were not going to have enough tiles. No worries I said we’ll get some from the builders yard down the road. Armed with a sample tile we arrived to “we used to sell them once upon a time a long time ago.” So we got something close and made it fit.

With the tiles back on this left the ends to tidy up and seal off which I did when Tom was out on his pedalo. We did join them many a late afternoon for a “cool off swim” in the sea.

We had a couple of wild nights out in Nappys bar “One for the road” which we sometimes frequent. Having said that our wild nights with them didn’t compare to their wild nights out on their own!! They were coming in as we were thinking about breakfast, oh what it is to be young!

They seemed to have a wonderful time and appeared to be very relaxed so that again is all that matters. They gave the impression they wanted to stay so that must indicate a good time!!

Another airport run to get them back then we have another week before guests number four arrive, our dear friends Mick & Sue are coming out for a week with us. These guys are the original busy people so with that in mind they get let off with tasks and we have decided to take a week off with them.
