Arillas Today

[justphil]

If I seem to be having too many Todays, I apologise.  I just hope that somebody is benefiting as much as me.

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,
Perfect situations must go wrong,
But this has never yet prevented me,
Wanting far too much,
For far too long,
Looking back,
I could have played it differently,
Won a few more moments,
Who can tell,
But it took time to understand the place,
Now at least I know
I know her well.

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't she fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness,
she can't be mine?

But in the end
she needs a little bit
more than me,
more security,
she needs her Mythos and her Amstel,
I know her so well

No-one in your life is with you constantly,
No-one is completely on your side,
And though I'd move my world to be with her,
Still the gap between us is too wide.

Looking back,
(Looking back)
I could have played it differently,
(I could have played it some other way),
Learned about the place before I fell.
But I was ever so much younger then
(Maybe too much younger then)
Now at least I know I know her well.

Isn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Isn't she fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness,
she will be mine?
Didn't I know?
How it would go,
If I knew from the start,
Why am I falling apart?

It took time to understand her,
but now I know her so well.

My Arillas, all mine.
Apologies folks.

Phil

Ps Eggy, we'll be there.

Phil you make me smile
Missing my Arillas Today but enjoying yours
I'm going to make sure we are sharing Arillas Today again next summer.

Send our best wishes to Sandra and Jim if you see them again.

Also loving these daily updates Jen and Phil. Soon be my turn!! Did I mention I'm coming Arillas on SATURDAY??? Omg omg!!! Can you give me a swing and North beach status please?? And can you also reassure my 3rd time visiting friend and her family along with parents that they will not be confronted with dangly bits on the beach opposite the Marina when they visiit in Aug?!

[Eggy]

Ps Eggy, we'll be there.

As long as you promise NOT to sing that lot, Phil, I'll be there as well.

Sharon - P n J get more huggies than a full maternity ward...

Already conveyed John. sandra and jim left their love with us for you and dot to collect one day soon. Maybe in Baltonsborough?

Yet another Arillas Today for me. We chose to buy rolls (made in our bakery) from Ina. Along with a sleeve of Pall Mall, a bottle of vodka and an amazing tomato. We had brought a large piece of somerset cheddar with us and Arillas Tonight saw us eating tasty and cheap. To be honest the money was not the point. Ha Ha Ha, I cannot believe I said that. Last night Katerina at Thalassa nearly lost one of those square plates as I scraped every trace of my pepper chicken off of it.

Jo for f sake, the dangly bits have kept us all on tenterhooks for months. Where are they? Do you want to see them?

I have solved this problem for me. My own dangly bits only get aired at 9 o' clock. In the morning, on my own and very far south of Marinaki. From what I have seen you will be fine as long as you keep the green stars on that Dimitris gave you. Yes, I can still remember them. I am male, after all....

We haven't got as far as the swing yet. Or as far as Kaloudis. what a a waste of your time. sorry. But I think you are either flying over us just now or here, so see you tomorrow!!!!

Phil

[Jo Wissett]

Haha. We arrive Sat around lunchtime all being well. We are all so excited. You can regale me with Marinaki swing sightings any time tomorrow! As dfoer your dangly bits you stay on south and I will stay on North (if I can get there haha)

[justphil]

My dangly bits are reserved Jo, like yours. Jen and Phil are quite safe. Arillas is everything you want, but a new shape. If you need mobile phones, tablets, technology etc just don't come. But to be truthful, everyone who is a minute younger than us does all of it. It accommodates us all.

I'm with Phil.
A determined effort got me back to Anna's by 11:00pm last night to say farewell to the loveliest family I have met in a long time as they were departing early this morning.

We shared a few and by midnight they were off for a good night's sleep.

So, an early night I thought, and bu***r me just as I was going to sup up, pay my bill and retire some more lovely people arrived. So no early night but another wonderful experience.

Now I'd better go and pay last night's (this morning's) bill so I can start another wonderful day debt free.

Arillas today sees the works of art created on Wednesday being delivered to Sharons Pool bar around 3pm for people to collect at a time to suit. The 2 ladies who wanted to collect from our shop, your items are here for you. The finished results are pictured on our hippopots facebook page if anyone wants to take a look. Thanks again to our painters...we'll be there again this Wednesday from 3pm, hope to see some Arilliacs there!

[Eggy]

Phil has been made aware that his "Work of Art" is now ready and he should hurry, just in case someone pays double the price, as an investment.

I have just got back, from Armourada, with P n J and a super "conversant" afternoon was had. (Cheryl2307 getting jealous now??) Darts plans went "outa de windo" and never got to Rainbow for a game. WOTSALLTHATABOUT?

Arriving home, at 17:30, with a 31 deg outside temp. Inside is 25deg thanks to Wegg who is not fuming at my late return. (I am lucky - Coulda been 38deg)
She's a luvely - DONCHYERKNOW? - And patient with it.
And .... I still have roast duck for tonight's meal- WOTAQUACKER!

Anyone here next Thursday will find a darts/social event at Armourada. Come and meet a few locals and Arilliacs. Darts is there if you want it. Much chinwagging will also be done.  Anyone not here next Thursday will have to look out for the following week.
Cheers

I'm a lovely shade of green, Eggs, especially as I'm at work in body but not in heart and soul!!  Glad you had a lovely chat.

Jo, have a super time, bet you sitting in the hall on your suitcases already!  Are there four or five of you going?

[Jo Wissett]

Cheryl yes very excited now!! All five of us going but soft lad flying back after a week haha!

[justphil]

How can I describe Arillas Today? Apart from waking up to clouded skies when it was mercifully cool, it has turned into a complete holiday for the many who are here for that. 30 degrees and counting....

I have been doing the numbers so I can report that Nr 7 (Mythos) sailed by at Armourada. I should have had a picture of the bottles crowding out Verena's flower arrangement, but WE FORGOT THE BLADDY CAMERA.


Yes Arillas Today has blown us away. But it always does.

Ps - it is all Neggy's fault.....
