Good afternoon, what a day we have had so far. As usual it’s up around 5.30am to 6 am as at 6:30 we go to the beach. It’s only four minutes away in the car and we sit and admire the view, have a bit of a stroll and I take a few photos, here are the photos today, in the rain.
Just before you get to the beach after you get out of your car, you can hear the chatter and the laughter or what we call ‘banter’ from 15 to 20 people that are out in the sea swimming. This group of people (who I believe are all of an age where they have been long retired), are there every single day and you hear them before you see them. I think they have been doing it for years as they are all so comfortable with each other and telling each other stories, it’s one of those relationships where you believe they have all grown up together and stayed friends. Around 45 minutes after this we pass the café on our way back to the car and there are the same 15 to 20 people sat there sharing bread, tomatoes, olives, cheese and Cyprus coffees. Still lots of laughter still pulling legs sometimes we hear the happy birthday song. The best thing about it all is, the café isn’t open, it’s too early. Everyone around the tables has put fresh bread, cheese, tomatoes etc. for each other to share. It makes me smile every day and I feel extremely privileged to witness such friendships.
Once we get back to our apartment we are met with one or two complex issues, one of the joys of being on a complex committee. Today is was checking the levels of cleanliness of the swimming pool, sorting out the lack of water supply and helping the weekly cleaners. All this is before breakfast.
That got done, breakfast ate and off to get my nails painted. There is a lovely young lady that I have been seeing for a while now, she is a friend of the girls and looks after me so vey well. There is something about having pretty nails that makes me feel lots better about myself. Due to the medication I take, my nails need looking after a little bit more than others. They don’t grow, they split and it’s so difficult to have them looking nice with all the ridges but Stavroulla brings them back to life.
As it was lunchtime hubby suggested a burger at a posh hotel, now who am I to turn that down? Even though I hadn’t showered nor washed my hair, as we hadn’t got any water…. Oh well.
Burger eaten and then off to see what the situation was at the apartment. Another problem or two to sort out which is still ongoing. But yeh, the water was back so at least we could shower. It was time for weekly injection, washer on and a well earned cup of tea. After face time chats with mum and dad and sister, it was then time to get ready to go out……now where did my day go?
No time for crafting, painting nor reading but I am making precious memories and that is what life is about.
More about what is happening in my Stampin' Up! world tomorrow. Thanks for having a read and I hope you have a wonderful evening. Tracey x
