Jobs

Well, it seems that Jenny & I both have jobs lined up for the summer season!

I will add a post on here later to let everone know where to find us when you come out this summer.

In the meantime, we are still busy writing, promoting and we have started painting the house on the outside. So far we have made a gate and painted it and done one window frame & shutters mainly to see if we like the new colour.

Now its time to get stuck in on this before the season comes and we have too little time/are too knackered to get it done.

More later............

Twitter me This!

If you have a business ( either online or offline) then now is the time to start taking Twitter seriously.

Although almost 19% of internet users have a Twitter account, there is still a great deal of mystery and ignorance about what to do with it.

This Free report written by top internet marketing expert, Kevin Riley, will explain how Twitter can be used very effectively to build customer loyalty, find new customers and make sales - whether you are working an internet based business or you have a traditional 'bricks & mortar' business.

Dumb & Dumber - Greece Strikes 2010

Well, just when you think that they all should be jolly well embarrassed about the complete and utter financial mess the successive governments have made over the last 10 years in Greece, the Greeks decide to increase their protests against measures to rectify the situation.



The country is on the brink of a complete fuel drought after customs workers who have been striking since Tuesday fancy making a long weekend of it by extending the strike until Tuesday. But Wednesday next week is a genral strike so they will not get their fat, lazy asses back in their comfy office chairs until Thursday.

There will be no petrol in Paleochora from tomorrow.

Shame for all those who need to get to a hospital. Or need to work.

Oh if only they knew how stupid this makes them look in the eyes of the world.

It's Nearly Carnival.....Oh Dear

Well, time has been whizzing here so I thought it must be time to add something to the old blog and keep everyone up to date.

I have been doing a lot of writing although since Christmas more for my own use rather than selling articles (although I will throw a few together for selling next week). Jenny has also been writing too so we have been quite busy.

Jenny got a surprise visit from her sister, Caroline, and best friend from the UK, Sue, for her birthday last week. They could only stay a few days but we had a lot of fun & laughs. here are the Guuuurls supping the umpteenth glass of champagne on the beach.


And this weekend...its the bloody carnival again. The pre-lenten carnival is steeped in tradition. The main tradition in Paleochora is that 'Ma Baker' by Boney M and 'Sex Bomb' by Tom Jones are played on a continual loop all day through a very powerful PA.

I really hate it. It can be quite amusing to see some of the floats as they tend to offer a satirical view of the world but its a bit like a really bad fancy dress party where the initial slight amusement of seeing someone dressed in a daft way quickly wears off and develops into boredom. Especially as it is the same each year (yawn). Anyway, soon be over.

Bye for now.
