Busy Social Whirl

Last night saw us at the Olive Tree for a bistro supper. We were joined by Hilary, who owns the Little Blue House where stayed over Easter last year. The three of us then formed a team called "The Dynamics" for the quiz that followed (raising funds for the local medical centre). We came a close second, but claimed a moral victory because the winning team (all resident expats) did better on the specialist Symi questions. Talk about home advantage!

After that, we strolled down to the Sunrise Cafe and met up with George. I borrowed a guitar from Derek (thanks very much!) and managed to busk along with George while we accompanied Claire's singing. Good fun and this went on till gone 2 pm and involved more wine being drunk, as well as too much vodka on my part... Not having played guitar since we came away to Greece, "I've got blisters on my fingers" (to quote John Lennon on the White Album).

Slept in a little later this morning, being barely troubled by the bells of all the churches in the Horio. I've been a bit sluggish for some reason! It has taken me most of the day to resemble a functioning human being - the wages of sin.

We've walked back down to Yialos, and popped in to see Debby and fetched up at the same cafe as yesterday. WiFi signals drag us in.

Tonight will probably be a quieter night but who can tell on Symi...

Only one photo today because of a technical issue, to be sorted by tomorrow. This is Tina in action at the Olive Tree with quizmaster Peter in the background.
