Janet, as sad as it is, my time on here is now 38 days and I have made 1940 posts. Like Eileen said, it keeps me going until my next time there. This forum is very important to so, so many. You are now included, obviously. Looking forward to reading many more from you.

We met another member this luchtime in a pub here in Somerset. She will be arriving 9th August for 3 weeks. We had made some arrangements for her when we were in Arillas (at home) two weeks ago. We helped here with information and updates, and she has promised to bring us the latest while she is there. Without the forum we would never have met her. Then add on all the lifetime friends we have made as a result of this website, and it is clear how much we owe our webmaster Dimitris.

It is not a club - anyone can join in.

Sorry to get a bit serious. Must have been a lapse...

Janet, my heart does.

In a while Jen and me will live there from March to November. But the exchange rate ditched that for this year. Next year? We hope so. We can't afford a second house, but meanwhile we have two homes. I sometimes get confused between our Somerset village home and our Corfu village home. We both prefer Corfu.

Mr Pommie

Message from Eileen.
She will be having delivered, Monday 8 am, 200 litres of white paint and a 25 kilo bag of "hole filler" She requests that you re-instate the wall back to it's former, boring glory before you leave.

The dartboard will need to be taken to the Coconut bar as the "standard" small board they have is not "hit-able" by bleary eyed customers at 3 am in the morning and the Nut wall now looks like a seive. This new bigger board will solve that problem although double 3 may be cause for concern. ( But only for those who can't stand up at 3am )

The stairlift will be collected by Brouklis who will install it, to be ready for Phil n Jen's visit next year. I'm told that the steps to Brouklis Appt are a problem, for them, at 3am, when they leave the "Nut" , having constantly missed the old dartboard.
(With the new board double 3 will not be a problem for Phil )
Anyway, when they eventually get to the top step it's time to make their way back down again for lunch!

The monkey is a concern as it doesn't have a mate and is likely to become highly strung with no one to look after. It may then start looking for "company"
So, he will be taken away by the "Protection Of Manic Monkeys In Exile" Group
P.O.M.M.I.E for short. - Not anything to do with you I suppose?
I am worried that if it "hangs" around the Villa, after you leave, the Goat Lady could be in trouble one morning! - And maybe the goats as well.

The Retsina will be looked after by my goodself, until I can find a glass large enough to do it justice. However I am concerned that when Sandy next visits any glass of any shape or size will be acceptable. Should this happen then, the following day she will be responsible for taking back the "empty"

So, everything has now been covered, except the wall, that is. And looking on the bright side, you now have the Winter to make plans for said wall next year, on your return.

Cheers
Negg

Eggy - Eileen was hoping that the monkey could be trained to do changeovers, but I told her it's a skilled job that needs a man of your talents (and a lady of Weggy's too obviously).

I'm still not sure what to do with the baywatch tower when I go. Perhaps I could move it to a strategic spot at the front of the villa for chucking lemons at noisy motorcyclists?

Eggy · July 31, 2009, 07:01:58 PM

Pommie

Monkey doing changeovers ? - He'll be paid more than me!

Keith may think the "Baywatch Tower" a good idea. Maybe he could switch to chucking lemons. ( I thnk his air rifle has always beena bad idea )

Cheers

Eileen · August 01, 2009, 02:07:44 AM

Awww thanks Riggers that's so kind of you. Don't you think Eggy and Pommie have a bit of a double act going on there? Both as mad as hatters methinks! I've been told many times that I'm awa with the fairies but that pair beat me nae bother..lol....where did the monkey come from?!!!

Lindypops · August 01, 2009, 04:19:47 AM

Never mind the monkey Eileen, does the lookout man have all the necessary`s?

Pommie · August 01, 2009, 07:42:24 AM

Quotehello pommie i hope you and your family enjoyed staying at villa linakis as we did it is so peaceful and quiet eh janet x

Hi Janet - we still are enjoying it !!!

For some reason I woke with rosy fingered Dawn this morning (don't tell Linda) and I am sitting on the upstairs balcony drinking in the peace and quiet of a glorious Greek morning (well actually the crickets have started and the cocks are crowing so it's not strictly quiet any more)

You people swimming along the pavements in England will be pleased to hear that we have one or two clouds here today (just the odd picture book cotton wool balls though)

Ready to start another day in Paradise - and looking forward to the festival tonight

Pommie · August 01, 2009, 08:23:29 AM

Eggy

I got up early and did the tidy up so Eileen will let me stay again.

I thought there was one final embellishment that might make changeovers more bearable for you though:

I'm not sure where to put the stools, but I'm sure you'll work something out

justphil · August 01, 2009, 09:40:50 AM

Just love it Pommie. The Coconut will forever more be known to me as Eileen's Bar. As for the stools, try the way Marina Pool Bar does - in the water....

Thanks to you and Eggy for brightening up a depressing homecoming from Arillas to floods, aggravation and such like. Enjoy every minute of the festival, and have one for PhilandJen.

Phil
