Beautiful day again to wake up to, weather has warmed up very nicely now. No more jumpers! We went down to the beach for Poppy to have her daily dip.
Sharons pool bar is up and running now and the '4 o'clock club' was in full flow, a little bit early. I finally met Dave Smith who introduced my grand-daughters to the 4 o'clock club last year. Emily is officially the youngest member.
Then spent a very happy couple of hours with Eileen and Keith at Villa Linakis - it is so beautiful - such a tranquil setting.
Nice wine too!
It was lovely hearing the story of how it came about. They are very pleased to have bookings for the whole of the Summer up to September.
We went for a Pizza tonight and then back to the Marvel for a nightcap and a piece of Apple Pie.
Phil played Darts - he won so was a happy bunny.
Day 41 - Saturday 10.5.14 9am and the temperature is 18.4deg C
Kato Savatokiriako = Happy weekend. I am trying to learn a few more Greek words - other than Yiamas = cheers and Efharisto = thank you.
We went to the Marvel while Vasso cleaned and watched Kath and Ann swimming in the very cold pool. Then walked down to the beach for Poppy to have her swim we joined in with the 4 o'clock club. I had 'my first of the season' piece of Sharon's delicious Lemon cake. There were 10 of us at one point. This evening we went to the Marvel to watch the Eurovision Song Contest - what was that all about?
We drowned our sorrows with a boozy coffee and Chocolate cake to share.
Day 42 - Sunday 11.5.14
Day 44 - Tuesday 13.5.14
Woke to wall to wall clouds this morning - but it is still nice and warm 19 deg and not at all breezy.
We went for a walk and had a chat to Perry in the Coconut, then Eggy came and joined us. He was looking for a game of darts but was disappointed as Perry is making a new cabinet, and had removed the board. While we were sat there we spotted this wonderful bit of parking.
We were going to go to see the Splinter band tonight, but just as we finished our dinner it started to rain so we changed our minds and stayed home.
Day 45 - Wednesday 14.5.14
Sunshine and showers forecast for today. Phil said there was a thunder storm in the night, but I didn't hear it.
We walked down to Ammos for our lunch, it was really windy and there were some big waves breaking over the bench.
Dimitris at Brouklis makes me laugh, he spotted us reading the Menu board outside the taverna, and said 'stop looking - that is for tourists' meaning we have been here a long time!
I love taking photos of all the beautiful flowers in bloom!
Day 45 - Thursday 15.5.14
We woke up to no water or internet this morning, apparently the overnight storms knocked one of the phases out - so no pump for water. All restored by 10.30am though :-)
Very sad day today it is our friend Barry's funeral. Even though I am in Arillas my heart and head, are in Yorkshire with Janis. I lit my Infinity candle at 13.15 because we never forget the ones we love!
Lazy afternoon because I had a headache - went for a snooze.
Tonight we went to the Rainbow to see 'The Worried Men' with Ann and Keith Marshall. We had a great time, good company, nice food, excellent wine. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well the end of another week, we are almost halfway through our trip now. 114 days without a cigarette.

Day 42 - Sunday 11.5.14
When I got up my feet were swollen, haven't had that for a while as I have been elevating my feet in bed but stopped a few days ago - must restart! Poppy and I were home alone as Phil went to watch the Grand Prix with Spiros at the Marvel. So I had a bit of a pamper. Poor Poppy has a rash on her tummy. I think she may have to go to the vets. We didn't take her swimming today. Went to Mon Amour for dinner, with Kes, Kath, Ann and John. I do like going there because they pick you up and drop you off - I don't have to drive.
Day 43 - Monday 12.5.14
Sun is still shining beautifully - usually 18 deg in the morning rising to 24-25 in the afternoon - 19 deg at 9pm. We cant complain about that! We went down to Sharon's for lunch and to find out the details for the Vet in Roda as Poppy still has her rash and is scratching it quite a lot. We drove to Roda and found the vets easily so we sat and had a fresh orange juice in the sun, at a Taverna opposite the vets, while we waited for opening time. The vet is called Antonogeorgou Matoula - everyone calls her Matoula - she is really lovely and thorough. She is not sure what has caused it - some sort of allergic reaction, maybe from a sand fly, which has got infected or it could be from being damp for a long while.. So she dabbed it with some stuff which looks like Iodine, then rubbed some cream on it, gave her an antihistamine injection and also some antibiotic tablets. No swimming for a week, we have to go back next Tuesday for her to be checked and she will groom her at the same time. We are all quite tired today so we stayed home this evening, I cooked Chicken and chips for dinner.
