I remember hearing this on a jazz radio channel a few years ago and searched in vain for a copy. But here it it (and an amazing live performance) by Nat King Cole. Calypso Blues.

Bob's Blog
Bob Tait has published the first edition of his blog which is part of 'The Paleochora Site'
There is a link to the blog just down there on the right hand side of this text (you may have to scroll down a bit).
The first edition finds Bob kayaking along the coast....which reminds me of a joke about making love in a canoe and American Beer which is far too filthy to repeat here.

Its brand new so content is still being added and its still being tidied up but its there and ready to use! Have fun with it!

Easter Sunday
A reminder for folks near or in Paleochora this weekend.
Calypso will be about the only place serving lunches on Easter Sunday. We will have some delicious, tender slow-cooked lamb as wellas many other dishes.
We will open at 12 noon.
καλο πασχα!

Kid's playmate becomes, eh, a Playmate
Well done to our former Au Pair, Sarah. In December 2008 she was Playboy Playmate of the Month in the Dutch issue. Bravo, Girl!

Funny thing is, when one lives in a place where one actually has to read most of the news, it can sometimes be a slight disadvantage when it comes to pronouncing new words to the English language.
I had a shock this Christmas as I had read about the new game console called the Nintendo Wii. For some reason, I naturally assumed that this was pronounced 'Wy' as in 'Why". Strange, I thought, to name a product in such a way as to almost invite 'buyer remorse'.
No! Nintendo's faux pas is much better than that as I discovered it is actually pronounced 'Wee' as in, well.....'Wee'!
The poor sales advisor in Currys must have thought me a trifle strange as I struggled, unsuccessfully to contain my fits of giggles as he kept on saying WEE as he described the games features and benefits. It's not my fault, I was brought up on Carry On films.
Did I buy one? No fear. I'm going to wait for the 'Playstation Poo'.
