I don't care if I have one or less readers, Arillas Today was strange.
The weather blew a fuse, and after last night's extremes, which I slept through as usual, electric storms were visible in the sky, but none of them touched us. The winds did touch us though, and the sea was "rough" to quote Poppy Bardis. And she could see this from the Sun Studios.
Strangeness was continued though by justphil, who took the pledge and had NO alcohol all day. Well day ends in the evening.............
Expecting to be visiting Alcoholics Anonymous today, we ate the most AMAZING enchilladas at the Bow for 7 euros. The only problem was the enormous size of the portion. Vicki is yet another talented Greek cook, and they were so delicious. And I only had TWO Mythos with them. But the bill was a joke. The word VALUE comes to mind.
Then in the Nut completely blown away by the talented musicians of Corfu Rock School with a guest who is apparently well known. Well, our own JohnTheRef will tell you who he is tomorrow because as usual, Arillas throws surprises at you with monotonous regularity. He knew and told me about him, and yes, he was technically and artistically brilliant. The Nut was full, and two layers deep in the road.
Yet again, for the second time in history, forum members Sandy x, riggers and justphil were stood on the same square metre of land (in the Nut, of course.) 2014 will live in my memory forever.
I could write all night (but Jen needs some sleep.) I have missed so much out of this account of Arillas Today. But as usual it delivered serious happiness to a very large number of people I do not even know. And many I do......... In spite of any negatives like mosquitos and bad apples this place is all that it is made out to be.
