Hi everyone just arriving at our northernmost port. The boat stops about 3 times during the night to unload. So it is nice to get of the boat and have a little wander around pretty little villages.
Off for a run today hoping to run to the Russian border just to say I did it:goodjob:

Hello reggie how is it going? Very quiet here these days

Yooo Hoooo!!! *echo echo echo*

Very quiet in the barracks...

I stuffed my knee up at the gym yesterday and I'm not happy about that! It's hard enough sticking to a work-out schedule without old age interfering with the game plan!

I'm trying to decide whether I should prepare for a potential hurricane coming our way. It's called Isaac and I'm not that concerned but everyone else I know here is so I'm starting to doubt my mental health! I'm thinking I'm going to do basics like get petrol for the generator and batteries etc. but I'm not going to stock up on canned goods and stuff like that. It's going to be a bun fight in the shops I bet... people love to panic!

I heard from Jackie earlier... they're obviously having a good time as they're staying an extra day... she'll be back Saturday.

And on that note, off for a session with the heat pad. Then I guess I'll pull out the genny and see if it starts. Bloody hurricanes.

:hallo: Army

We'll be heading out to dinner shortly. I'm having a cup of coffee in the meantime - feeling a bit tired after the week.

Enjoy your day / evening and see yas laters

Zennie: MB invited you over to her house on yesterday's thread. She said she'll put you up for the duration of Isaac. Or was that put up with you? I get confused

Lordy, lordy but the barracks are quiet these days. I wonder if a certain Ms. JC being on holingdays has something to do with it? Hmmm...

Younger son and girlfriend just left a few minutes ago after coming over to have a late lunch with us. They are leaving early in the morning to go to a friend's home on Mount Pilio or Pelion as it is written in English. We've gone there a few times for a weekend and I absolutely love the place. The older houses have a distinct architectural style and many of them have been converted to rented rooms - this is the place we always stay at....



This is a typical room there.....



and the best part of it is that within an hour's drive at most from the uppermost village on the mountain are beaches that look like this...



Great combination - mountain villages and fantastic beaches. Now does anyone still wonder why I love this country so much?

Hope you're all having a lovely evening.

Mrs. A - I am just the slightest bit (hugely) envious of your trip. Sounds like you're having a fabulous time.

Hope that damn hurricane steers clear of Florida and wears itself out at sea, Zennie and MB. I've never experienced something like that and really don't want to. Hope you are both safe and sound.

:wavin: to any who might be :sofa:....

Well it seems that the barracks are completely deserted so I'm off to walk my dear Freddoccinno and then to bed. Wishing all of you...

:hallo: again

Dinner was very good. Not great, but nice enough. I had mussels in a creamy white wine sauce , crispy duck with a citrusy glaze and creme brulee for dessert. The youngest cub's Lindt chocolate torte was excellent - she was generous enough to give me 2 bites.

I'm now off to relax in bed with a new book. I'll have a bit of a lurk in between to see if anyone shows up, but failing that I'll see you on the morrow.

Almost forgot: Mrs. A - ditto what Stirly said. I hope you're taking pictures

Stirly: that area looks fantastic. I must put Greece on my bucket list. If only flights from Saffaland weren't so expensive :upset:
