17th September - how things looked when we left

Biker boys

George has wheels! Although he is now remarkably fit and healthy, the famous hill is too much for him (and for most of us!). So now he'll be able to go up and down to Bar 38 - can you be drunk in charge of a mobility scooter?

And here are Makis and Thanassis burning rubber.

Stelios and Stella

Stelios arrived at our house with a bad leg - apparently the result of an attack by another cat. So, of course, we had to give him a bit of love and attention and he would be on our doorstep every morning.

He soon got better and was joined by a very shy lady called Stella.

We know they will be fine because they disappeared for a few days - and turned up again well fed and happy.

Slowly, slowly - Windows and shutters

"The windows and shutters will be in by 30th August" - oh well.

We have some windows in but no shutters and some shutters in, but no windows!



But they will look great when (if?) they are completed.

Slowly, Slowly - Ballustrades

Well - the plan was that the ballustrades would be in place when we arrived at the end of August (sound familiar?). But things started moving (very slowly) during the second week of our visit and, by the time we left, we were about half way there.

Slowly, Slowly - Tiling

Costas is working at his normal pace - measured in tiles per litre of ouzo. He has been exclusively working on our house since the beginning of June and still had a few more ouzos to go when we left on September 17th !
