Where is the time going...

Just having a Giros at Daltons to make Pete jealous.

It is hard to believe that it's already well into the back end of November, apart from the odd thunder storm and occasional rainy day the weather here is still fantastic.  It could very easily be confused with a typical summers day back in the UK with blue skies, a gentle breeze and temperatures in the low twenties.  And the clincher is that as soon as evening comes you need to put something on to just to keep the chill at bay.

It's now only eighteen more days before we leave Lefkas for our Yuletide break back in the UK, we are having a few days in Athens prior to catching the flight back to Manchester and then onto home on the twelfth December.  Sandra is certainly looking forward to catching up with people at home and of course seeing all the children and grand children.

At Kato Rahoula again with Linda and Ray.

In the meantime, on Saturday Linda and her went on the free bus to IKEA at Ioannina for a spot of retail therapy.  She didn't, thank Christ, spend a fortune even though she was off the leash for a while.  She did however come back with some Ikea cooked ham from their food hall, smashing.  Of course she also had to pick up some bit and bobs while she was there!

Last night we went once again to Kato Rahoula (Bottom of the Hill) for a meal with Ray and Linda and as usual the food was excellent.  If anyone needs somewhere to go for Christmas lunch their menu is on the "Friends of Lefkas Marina" facebook page.  It looks excellent and I know where we would be if not in the UK.

We had only been at the restaurant for a short time when a car arrived with Les, Vi, Tony and Jane.  We knew that Tony and Jane where still here although due to go back but had no Idea that Les and Vi where back on the Island albeit for a short stay.  I have to say that when it came time for ordering drinks Les refused anything but water......  for about twenty milliseconds!  but it's the thought that counts, what do you say Les?  At least we got a chance to wish them all seasonal greetings before the departed for the UK. A great time was had with great company to boot and I've already copied that TV programme for you Ray.
