On the Horns of a dilemma ...

I have pondered very hard this week on whether to write a blog or not given that the main event of the last week was the downhill soapbox derby and things went tragically wrong.  However, I have decided to write a short piece because I am fairly certain that Maureen would have not wanted people to do anything they wouldn't normally have done, please forgive me Mo if this is not true.  As I have already mentioned things went wrong in the race proper after the two time trials had been run to allocate grid positions for the race.  There were two unconnected accidents one involving a Greek boy, Pantazis Katsenis, who I am led to understand is going to make a full recovery but is still in Ioaninna University Hospital after having gone through two operations, more details of his progress can be found at mylefkada.gr. for Greek speakers. His family wish to thank anyone involved in helping him on the day.

Mark is still in hospital also and an update of his condition is being constantly updated with the latest news and can be found by anyone who doesn't already know at http://lefkaslife.blogspot.com/

Mark and Maureen were among the first people we were introduced to when we first came to Lefkas over two years ago now and we have been firm friends ever since.  I'm sure that along with the rest of the expat population here (and also the Greeks) we are rooting for him and pray for a good outcome.
