We're still bouncing....

flood barrier on the french doors

 Since getting back to Lefkas the weather has been pretty bad with lots of rain and high winds.  We have been having gales consistently, at force nine last weekend but currently about force six or seven.  The barometer has been as low as I've ever seen it in Greece, about 990 at it's lowest but normally well over a thousand even in winter.  Today is very sunny though with twenty degrees here in the marina and twenty two in the town where it's sheltered from the wind, very pleasant for February.

And front door

CG Constructions have finished the flood prevention work on the house back in Yorkshire and we hope that we really don't need to ever use them in anger but at least we can tell the insurance company that we've taken preventative measures, they may bring our huge excess down a little now.

Front at Vlicho last Sunday.

We had Sunday lunch at Vlicho Yacht Club to get off the boat for a while and get some land legs back.  It was smashing but it looks like Rauri has his work cut out down there with the weather situation.  He has had to move six yachts up here to the marina and is standing night shift looking after the others he is responsible for.  The water was very high there even for this time of year.

somewhat higher water than usual.

We needed some diesel for the car yesterday and decided to get off the island and take advantage of the lower prices on the mainland.  We paid €1.065 (£0.80) per litre.  It's means people can afford to travel about once again.

We are having a guitar concert night in Remezzo's in about a months time and I still have to decide which songs I am going to play (or more the point, which one's I can make a stab at singing).  Oh the life of a rock star!!
