Weathers good but cold's set in....

New comfy "inside/outside" chairs

 We've both been feeling under the weather now for over a week, not that it's stopped us doing things it just means that you're snivelling and coughing all the time you are doing it.  With this in mind we've decided not to go to the St. Patrick's day celebrations nonight despite being asked to go by several people.  So I'd just like to wish all the Irish people we know and those we don't for that matter a very happy St. Paddy's day, try not to get too much of the black stuff down your shirts when you start missing your mouths!

Contemporary Sideboard I must be having another childhood.

Last Friday we went for yet another visit to IKEA to get the last of the furniture we needed for the house in order that Tree and Mike could have theirs returned prior to the letting season beginning.  It was really only a sideboard we needed but as usual we came back with more than intended.  Stools, Chairs, curtain rails, sideboard as well as IKEA food and Candles though why we travel two hours to get candles is way beyond a male mind!

On the way back we called in at Assos to see our old neighbours and friends before going on for yet more money spending in the supermarket at Preveza.  Got home with a real need for that Metaxa and Coke!

New trellis

Spent Saturday in the furniture assembly dept. which I quite enjoy doing but also helped Mike erect a trellis on our balcony in order that when the punters are in next door they can't nosey into our house, either that or we don't frighten them off too quickly.  Anyway whichever way it is the trellis is now in place and looking OK.

Blue flystoppers (or curtains as Sandra calls em!

We then had the curtain rails to put up for the voile curtains which Sandra bought some time ago.  The idea is that they will stop flies and mosquitoes getting into the house.  I have made screens for all the windows but the doors posed more of a problem this is our solution, will it work?  Don't know let you know when the dratted insects appear.


We have spent the rest of this week getting all the weeds out of the garden and the Gravel, none of this chemical thing for us you know genuine muck under the finger nails time.  The garden will be finished by tomorrow weather allowing and then there is the rest of the wood to cut up as a stockpile for next winter as I don't expect that we will need much more this year as the daytime temperature are now in the upper teens and have even hit the low twenties this week.  However you never know with the weather do you.

Not a weed in sight looking good!

We have had another Earthquake yesterday with a magnitude of 4.4 we even noticed a pronounced wave coming through Vasiliki bay afterwards, you wouldn't call this a tsunami though unlike the poor unfortunate people in Japan, hopefully we will never have to live through anything quite like that.
