It is indeed raining again...

My cisterns are already more than half full

And the snail-gatherers are out in force

While we are on the subject, this from December 1999... :idea:

Dramatic pictures for Symi we're used to it looking all pretty

by **maziemoo** » 23 Oct 2007, 22:22

Dramatic yes.......you can hardly recognise it as Symi.

I remember that storm. By some freak the torrent rushed past the house that Derek was living in just by the church, leaving him unscathed.

There were similar scenes in the harbour last October but as it was dark the photos weren't much cop.

Just in case anyone is interested, I have just put up some photos I took from the Symi Visitor terrace a few minutes ago.

As always Adriana, great Photos.

by **Adriana** » 24 Oct 2007, 11:11

Thanks, Jerry. Symi is so photogenic even a basic digital camera in the hands of an amateur like me can produce good results!

I don't seem to be able to access these yet Adriana :?:

....things must be on a go-slow this side of the water!

I think they are the ones in Adrianas diary Mazie,how are you by the way.

by **maziemoo** » 24 Oct 2007, 13:37

I've looked there Kon but they still aren't showing yet.....I've noticed this before....oh well I will just have to be patient

.

I'm fine thank you, still missing Symi :mrgreen:

like crazy. I've been looking into trying out a winter break but it's not looking too hopeful at the moment

. Although Frances/George can provide me with lovely accommodation and I can get flights, albeit a little more long-winded, the thought of potentially spending half of it on Rhodes due to difficult or non-existent ferry crossings isn't very appealing.

So I'm also thinking about Plan B....perhaps I could bring my May visit forward into April to take in the Greek Easter which I actually think would be a lovely way of picking up some of the culture as well as interacting with the locals and getting to know them better.

How are yourself and the family? I think you mentioned the other day that your climate is lovely at the moment.

[/quote]Mazie, while looking at the diary page, try holding down the shift key while clicking the 'refresh' button. That might fix it.

We are all great thanks Mazie and our weather is on the improve,as for the ferry crossings Mazie dont stress about them take some motion sickness tablets and keep half an lemon in in a hanki and breath in it .No probs ,i use to do that when my uncle use to take me on his fishing trawler to help out in rough seas in bas straight

thank god i love the sea.

When is Easter in Greece next year.?

by **maziemoo** » 24 Oct 2007, 13:54

I could deal with the rough but not the non-existent. Being stuck on Symi is one thing, arriving late or taken off early is something else.

Easter is 27th April I think.

by **maziemoo** » 24 Oct 2007, 13:57

No joy.......nevermind it will come right eventually. At least I can keep looking at the webcam in the meantime. Gosh it's been raining again :cry:

by **Tove** » 24 Oct 2007, 13:58

Hi Mazie. Easter Sunday in Greece should be 27th of April in 2008 according to google, not a bad time for coming, maybe I see you there? :mrgreen:

by **maziemoo** » 24 Oct 2007, 14:02

Hi Tove, how are you?

That's where I got my info from, I think it would be nice to be part of the celebrations and also to be able to share them with a friend :mrgreen:

.

I'll keep you informed of my plans.

by **Adriana** » 26 Oct 2007, 08:22

Time it right and you'll be able to hang wild flowers on your door on 1 May as well

by **maziemoo** » 26 Oct 2007, 09:54

I booked my flights yesterday....arrive on the 23rd April for THREE whole weeks......so yes looking forward to joining in all the fun.

Decided the February break was too much of a chance...want to spend it on Symi not Rhodes!!

by **Mille** » 26 Oct 2007, 10:02

Mazie darling, that is not fair!!!

I want to go too *throws her self on the floor and makes a scene*
