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.
