One swallow means load of the little things...

Mary on her 50th Wedding do.

 The swallows have arrived (the birds that is not the people who come for the summer) here in Lefkas this week,   First we just saw the one having a breather on the boat opposite us, then within the space of an hour they were everywhere.  The first guy must have just been scouting to make sure none of the Greeks had a gun and Swallow pie wasn't going to be dish of the day.  Now early morning and late evening you can see them en-mass performing their aerial acrobatics.  I'm not sure where they all go during the day though, perhaps it's a mystery to be solved.

On Saturday evening we went to Vlicho Yacht club to help Mary and Fred celebrate the fiftieth wedding anniversary.  As Fred mentioned a couple of times more than three life sentences there but I'm sure he wouldn't change a thing.  It was a very enjoyable night out even though we didn't know that many people there when we went in that had changed somewhat by the time we left.  The food and the company was great and here's to the next 50 Mary & Fred!

Deb and Jez Sporting complimenting tops.

Monday was the quiz night in Remezzo's preceded by a couple of drinks at Cafe zino with Alison and Pete from the Katoghi and a Daltons for tea.  I managed to leave my brolly in Daltons  and when I returned they didn't have it but insisted on giving me anther one they had acquired.  Sandra has insisted on throwing it away today because to quote her "it stinks of Papa Yannis".  And there's me thinking I had got a bargain.  Thanks to Bob, Liz, Brian and Irene for organising the quiz, there was no chance of us winning anyway so we won't have to organise the next one.

First chief assistant scrubber Deb getting down and dirty!

Wednesday saw the coming of age of Jeremy, well nearly, he only needs a couple more years and then he'll be able to vote!  We had a lovely night out with them to celebrate you have never seen so much chicken served to eight people in all your born days, everyone got a half chicken and I don't mean one of those silly budgies you get from Tesco these where huge.  I had the small one, I say small but it was still big enough to choke a bullock on.  Very full but what a great time we all had, but you never expect anything different to that with you guys.  Thanks Deb & Jez.  Of course it's back to the grindstone today as you can see Deb trying to scrub up for the season this afternoon.

Our new lodger.

We seem to have adopted a strange feline lodger at the moment.  Barney, Kev and Linda's cat has been searching for some company and decided to come and see what the Waddy's had to offer, nothing but polite conversation I'm afraid Barney, but top marks for trying.  Don't worry too much mate they'll soon be home.
