Today would have been Loopy's birthday

We all still miss him
Searching the bars of Nidri for Robbie
A character to match his master

Book Club

A rather gruelling read
Doing time in a Bangkok jail for drug smuggling
I think the description of her experiences in UK jails were worse
Glad I have finished it & can get on to something more cheerfull

Costa Rica ?

Kim Durham who plays Matt Crawford

Apologies to non Archers fans (or those who have not caught up yet)
Matt has gone to Costa Rica ?
That is where my pineapple came from
That must be a sign ...

Burns Night

A lovely evening at Roma's
Jim gave the address to the Haggis

There were about 20 of us and we all contributed something to the feast.
(Steph is awake! just caught her at bad momment)

I made a fresh fruit salad, so was pleased to find this pineapple
But, all the way from Costa Rica - Shocking

Rain

I so loved this book as a child
Sad that I no longer have it

Rain
The rain is falling all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.

Robert Louis Stevenson
Published 1885

Oh dear !

My Kindle has died
Black screen and I have tried all the reboot tricks I could find on the net
Thank goodness for the Kindle ap for iPad

An ok read, but nothing to write home about
Not sure that I will bother with Part II

Anocondas

Not a good day
Paul has had the stitches out of his hand
Also the dead skin where it was infected taken away
Ouch !
So, a good film to watch if you don't mind snakes
What else can you do ?

Brilliant Buffet at Kato Rachoula

These were just the smoked salmon starters
Good food, excellent company
Happy Sunday !

I can't believe it ...

Paul was by our gate and a car stopped
"Do you speak English?"
"Yes"
"Can I give you this?"
I would have thought that we were safe from Jehovah's Witnesses here !

Pool is still frozen

And there is a little wagtail feeding on top of the ice

Monday at Vonitsa
A wander round the market
And a lovely brisk walk round the island

With snow on the mountains in the distance
