Dupnica:
 Oh how I hate that wind,especially when it goes on for days on end,think I'd rather have a good thunderstorm.
 Manthos is the person for forecasting the weather.You can be sitting there enjoying lunch on a lovely calm day and he'll say "Maestro coming"
 "How do you know"we ask,to which he replies "I look the sea, Maestro for three days" and our hearts sink.

 A similar thing often happens in the evening if we are eating there,"Tomorrow rain" he says and again we ask how he knows "I look the moon" he answers. The trouble is he's usually right,I suppose after years of looking at the sea and the moon he's become pretty profficient at predicting the weather.

Hi Jacksi, yes that was me giving Bailey a little doggy massage....

I try and take a little break each afternoon, sometimes to the beach, or if I fancy a frappe, I pop down to see Shane and Sandra, or on a Friday, Kerry and Gwen.
If you're still here, pop by and say Hi!


Today the wind had thankfully dropped to just a breeze again. Much nicer, quite refreshing, and better beach weather.
I agree Dupnica, the local Greeks are experts at predicting the weather, which is quite handy as we don't get Greek TV to see a forecast! But ask a local Greek what they think the weather will do, and they are usually correct!!

This evening still quite a few people out at just before Midnight....many in Condor for a Freddie Mercury tribute, and others enjoying a more quiet drink in Summer Dreams and Aquarius.
Have to say the temperature feels a lot cooler than expected for August.... Iremember some really hot nights last year, but this is much more comfortable for sleeping!   
 

hippopots:
All woke up to another glorious, sunny, hot day!

Perfect pool and beach weather today, where I think probably a fair number of yesterdays arrivals spent their first day.

A cooler evening again though, but its not stopping people from sitting outside Silver Moon enjoying a beer or 2. But it does feel a little quieter tonight than it has been recently, with Sunset just packing away the cushions off the chairs when we walked by about 15 minutes ago. Perhaps the cooler temperature has kept people to their hotels tonight, not that its cold compared to the UK!! 

cabmufc:
Great updates as always Hippopots.Has really kept the magic alive while we wait our turn on the holiday conveyor belt back to paradise in just over 2 weeks time!!Any chance of finding out from the amateur Michael Fish experts what the weather is going to be like for us when we get there on Sept 5th!!??

hippopots:
Ha Ha cabmufc, I'll check with my weathermen next door, Spiro and Aris, closer to the time, and see what they say, but hopefully this fab weather will continue!

No surprise, hot and sunny again  8)

Beach was pretty busy today, with the majority of cars parked there being Italian, August being the month that most Italians get leave from work.
Afew clouds rolled in off the sea early evening, but luckily no rain, so another pleasant evening too.

Thomas Bay was pretty busy tonight with a singer, have to say she had a lovely voice.

Then walking back past our shop and up past Sunset, the music deminishes, to be replaced by the chirping of crickets....a sound I always associate with Greece.
