Party, Party...

Local kids practising sailing in the harbour.

 We have had a great week this week, on Saturday we washed dried and stowed the sails for the winter.  If we need to go anywhere now it will be motorised transports only.  While the sails were hung to dry we were entertained by the local kids learning to sail in little dingies, it's much harder than you would think as things tend to happen very quickly, certainly too fast for me!

Our sails hung out to dry.

Sunday was of course the most important person in my worlds birthday and of course just like the queen she has two of them, well at least two parties.  Firstly that night we went up to Vafkeri to have a meal with Pete and Alison at the Katoghi.  Liz and Tony joined us there with their friends David and Anne and we had a super meal and a great laugh as always up there.  One of the disadvantages of not now having a car here is that we can't go up there quite as often as we would like but that makes it all the more special when we do get the chance.  Once again thanks to you guys for a great evening.

Monday evening we went to one of our other favourite haunts, the Panorama Taj, Indian at Palairos.  This time with Deb, Nita (her big sister, or is it mum?), Jez, Linda and Kevan.  Kev was kind enough to chauffeur us there and Jez went via the sea and met us there in the evening.  Once again a great evening with loads of great spicy food and good company.  Again as always it is well worth the trip around to see Dimitry  and his family and Salim is a great Indian chef.

 So Tuesday comes along and San can't get used to living in isolation having had company for the last couple of days so after her exercises we end up at Daltons Giros place with Alison, Peter and David their neighbour for a spot of light lunch and a good old chat, we seem to have been talking none stop for weeks now.

We ended up this round of entertainments with afternoon tea on the boat complete with cucumber sandwiches (no crusts) and cakes, Debbie kindly brought along a bottle of bubbly to augment the tea though.

Grub on the go.

 Anyway to round off the week I have been repairing a laptop for Chris and between us we have organised a Guitar jamming session to keep us occupied while Sandra and one or two other ladies are out exercising, should be a bit of a blast and I can't get into bother for distracting Sandra with my catawauling.

Ok, well I think that is about enough for this week,  let's see what next week brings.

Ohh...  Forgot to mention I bought Sandra a dremil tool for fettling bits on the boat and assorted bits for it, she was dead chuffed!!!
