The Birthday Girls finally gets to Open the Card

Well I didn't know did I , that my brain was having a day off on Monday , when I preceded to hand Lynda her birthday card only to be told that it was 2 days early.

I got confused didn't I, woke up in a sweat, thinking " where's the damned Card"--- I guess that the only saving grace is that it wasn't late.

Ah well.

So this week has been a mixture of more hard graft and relaxing on the sea.

The list has been worked some more --glossing all the doors in the lounge and kitchen, fixing the taps in the kitchen, fixing toilet roll holders---that kind of thing.

We were shattered but starving so wandered down to Dromaki restaurant and was pleased to see Lia Campbell who is over for a few days from Geordie land.

By the way this is the sky everyday this week.

  On Tuesday we paid the deposit on the car in Greece and thing that we have the order sorted so can hopefully look forward to some interesting drives in the summer---going to go see if we can find some Scottish speaking Spartans.

  While we were filling our tums on Monday night the Chelsea youth team won the FA Youth Cup __ brilliant.

 

So yesterday was Mrs A's birthday and we ended with a trip out on the Lady J in the afternoon-- wonderful people our Mike and Janet.

 

Did I tell you that this is the sky every day this week.

Mrs A much braver than me but warmer in the shallows

 Just in the background is one of the Male Peacocks on Moni Island in full bloom.

 There is the Lady J, both the boat and the Lady.

 

Just in case I forget but this is the view from my chair in our Avli every day this week

 

Last night we had a quiet dinner for 6 and a drink in Avli which was really a nice not too rowdy finish to Lyndas day.

 

Today we went to the Hotel Klonas Anna to see Anna and her beautiful daughters Martina and Maria and now with the 2 grandchildren Anna and new arrival Georgino.

 

Here is their hotel on the left--her brothers on the right.

 

This has so many wonderful memories for us there---watching these children grow up and then having Jonathon and Lynseys wedding reception here it is very special to us and this family made it so.

 

We are so lucky to include this family as friends here in Aegina.

 

So that's it gotta go, because the amazing Dina is creating tonight and so will need to get cracking to get there in time to be fed and watered.

 

Only one full day left and then it is home on Saturday :-(
