How did they manage to get a 'cheesy bloke' in their suitcases then?!!  What are you going to do with him over the winter months Eggy?

[vivian]

Eggy, with Cheryl talking about bloke's in suitcases reminded me about the one that arrived with me that you pushed under the water whatever happend to him? lol. Viv

Viv
He's been under the water, grown,out of the water, shrank etc. - fascinating.

Cheryl
I think any way I answer your question will leave me open to attack by Terry W.

Do you know that at 4;30 this afternoon Arillas was sitting quietly in a 23 deg temp and looking a pleasure to be on the beach. Which is what a few people did.
Mild breeze, very warm, not bad for the 12th Oct.
"Riggers","Rugbymad" and others could have timed it right for their October break.
Hope I haven't put the usual "kiss of death" on the weather.

[TerryW]

Oh Cheryl - you have me worried now. I hope I have never offended anyone.

[Eggy]

Terry me 'ole mate - We've all been offended by more respectable people than you!!!
Only joking - Now you're getting paranoid I bet !!
( Maybe it's a sign of hitting that lovely age of 59 )
Say it in Greek - " Penninda En-eh-a" Sounds good to me. - "Ex-in-da" in 12 months!!
(Why has everyone I know older than me got hair ?-Is that your real photo?)

These posts will keep coming but I do sometimes get quite paraniod myself you know and worry that people think I'm "blowing the 'ole trumpet" to make them envious.
I don't mean to do that. - Honest Judge.

I will need to learn those two age phrases now eggy and yes it is all my own hair. The Photo was taken in Brouklis and you can see Dimitris just over my right shoulder.

Do you have any greek lessons or do you just pick the language up as you go along day to day?. I would love to speak more Greek but I think my hair is a barrier sometimes to what my brain can absorb.

I was pleased with myself at work though this week. A Portugese bloke came to ask if we had any jobs going, and I did manage to say Bon Dia and Obrigardo to him which is "Good morning" and "thankyou", and I haven't been to Portugal for about 8 years. So the grey matter does retain some information.

Lastly, what did you and weggy have to eat at Brouklis last night? It is friday night so I won't get too depressed on finding out.

Last night at Brouklis Wegg had Stiffado and I had a Beef Cutlett ( Steak ) which I must say was cooked to "better than perfection" due to a quieter evening on their part.
Only 2 bottles of Retsina between us as I was driving.
Our Sandy had a swordfish steak that kept crying out " Eat me-Eat me" and Joyce had Spaghetti and mushrooms with a cheese sauce  which Wegg tasted, and although she generally remains calm in a crisis, loudly said "This is to die for".

Greek I now pick up as I go along but we are considering "Schooling Lessons" in the winter.

"Good morning" and "thankyou" in Portugese is much more than I can manage.
( as long as you get the timing right )
You say good morning - He says good morning - You say thank you.
( He thinks " I know the British are very polite but that's ridiculous!" )
The mind could boggle on this one - Mine already has.
So: - Kalenikta avrio ine alli mia mera. (Goodnight tomorrow is another day.)

1 pm - and some very noisy thunder going on. Take a look at the last 12 shots of the Arillas web cam and see the clouds poised above the beach.
It's raining here as I type. - A chilly 19 deg. - Lazy day today methinks.

When I finally got to Arillas, about 3 pm. there were quite a few people on the beach, a few people in the water and, despite a little breeeze, it still felt very warm.
A lot of new faces and Arillas looked busier today than it has been for the last week.
Thalassa, Horizon, Marina all had some occupied tables.

The weather is very changeable here at the moment. Now it's 19 deg and still some clouds around. - Who knows what happens next?
But, I reckon your combination of Sun,Mixer and digger have done you proud today.

So, this morning, in Kavvadades very pleasant by 11 am with football being played on the local pitch. Acharavi vs Arillas which, unfortunately Arillas lost 3-2. Probably because Noufris at Brouklis wasn't playing. Nick from Brouklis could have played but he refuses to remove those deep shades he wears when he's not working.
Have we ever seen a centre foreward with sunglasses on ??

Anyway, at 3 pm we, plus in laws, decide to take oursleves off to Arillas for a spell on the beach.
Weather good, beach good but big wind. Nature-not me  What a shame!
 (Nature I mean)

Never say die Mrs Egg decides to give the beach a go whilslt I take the easy way out by meeting Riggers & Co and retiring gracefully to the Horizon for an ouzo or two.
( They bought us Tetley tea-bags - We will soon be drinking their health )

I hope a lovely time had by all. Mrs Egg returning home in parents car leaving me to to run riot and sneak in extra drinks that I may not tell her about.
Riggers and Co totally exhausted, I think, by hind legs repeatedly removed from poor donkey. - Poor couple looked totally exhausted by the time I let them leave.
By 5 o'clock no breeze and a very good looking Arillas beach front. Still nicely warm.

This has to be what holidays and a good life is all about - INNIT ?
