Arillas today ? --- i just don't know what to say or even where to start !
Late morning was very quiet and there was that very good feel of locals taking that one step back, thinking about the season that's coming to an end , and quite rightly thinking about the winter.
Billy, ( Vassilas ) at Amourada said it all, I think, with Pavorotti blaring out from the Amourada. It's what he's been waiting to do. But it sounded just right for today and I stood and listened to it, with Takis, outside the supermarket. I wished him a " Kalo Himona " , good winter, and moved on. It;s all "kalo Himona" here now.
Not many places open now and Wegg and I sat in Rainbow, this afternoon watching tables being cleared as they close tomorrow. Graham and Julie are the last guests here and will do thier own thing for the rest of the week.
Horizon is closed but Thallassa and Brouklis and Akti and Marina, plus others plod on.
The service is still good but , hey ! , everyone wants November plus.
All in all it's a great place to be at this time of year and a smiling Dimitris ( Brouklis ) with bebis tucked comfortably on back of bike says it all! _ chill out time!
Maybe a twinge on the sad side for all of you but equally for all of us here.
Where do I play darts when the Rainbow closes?
Will Malibu or Coconut get a dartboard for next year?
Will i very soon be missing you lot who share drinks/chats and bring goodies?
I can only answer a definte "YES" to the last question.
Cheers All
Negg
