The arrival of "Babas"

Tired little worker!

Sandra and her dad safely arrived back at Preveza airport on Sunday which brought to an end to my week of exile and having to feed myself and do the domestic science thing!
It was nice to have them both back here where I could just hand out the orders and get a cup of coffee without having to move ;-)

I have had to make sure that was some work to do for when Geoff arrived so I had left the remaining stock of fire wood in it's raw state for when he arrived and sure enough by the time he had got his feet under the table he was asking what he could do to help.  So with this in mind on Tuesday we set about cleaning up the long branches and sawing up logs to get our stock of winter fuel  a little more replenished.   We had got about half way through it by the time tea time came and Geoff was looking decidedly jaded  so we'll leave the rest to do at a later date.  As can be seen from the photograph above he was soon zonked out in a chair and giving it bids Zzzzzz's.

Me trying to find "Ratty" on the shelves with Geoff and Liz on Guard 

This morning Sandra heard a scurrying in the garage which turned out to be the return of our furry friend Ratty rat.  Although I knew he was up on the shelving he made a good job of avoiding me and I could not flush him out.  Overnight the rat poison which I have been laying out for weeks had vanished so I think he has just come in from the outside thinking that this would be a suitable place to make a home and bring up a family, think again sir!  Geoff and I have strimmed all the rough Grass around our house and next door after the rat hunt so once again we've earned our keep and Geoff is again asleep in the dappled shade of the patio, it's a hard life but someone has to do it!

As yet we've not been out and about much, just had a meal in the local taverna with Liz & Tony and the couple who are staying in Tree's villa next door but tomorrow we are going to convert someone to Sky+ so that'll allow him to a little more of the Island we may have a "tourist" day on Saturday and visit a beach on the west coast who knows.
