The E MESS – "Your Makrigialos Fix"

Quote from Matt "it’s a state of mind"

ISSUE NUMBER FIFTEEN COMMENCING SOMETIME MID SEPTEMBER 2001

The silly season is nearly over, the weather has cooled down a bit - Tony brought some rain drops which swiftly disappeared but reduced the temperature and the humidity. We have had a few rough weather days with no Fish - poor Vassilis.

It was so rough the other day that we could hear the holidaymakers screaming on Pegasus from Kalo Nero. It had to be a Monday which is Villea day on Pegasus!!! No one was any more than soaked though.

Visitors this week include the O'clocks, Don and May and the Scots contingent - Matt [ of Matts Gallery] and Diane.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Sorry Julie but here it is. Julie to Sue and Daniela whilst sitting by the pool "Why are there no olives on those trees?" The reply was Because they are not Olive Trees . And of course there had to be a Tony quote As Bridget and Gary were scrubbing the pool in full scuba gear "Gary looks like a girl, he's a bit pear shaped, he's got a low drag rate, - low centre of gravity, that’s why he stands up so well - like those Russian dolls"

I wish I could remember who Jan said this about "They are still on the trapeze wire but the safety nets gone. - Sure this one will come in useful.

Gary to Sandra whilst showing her underwater photos Orgasm". - Sandra "Whats that?" " Gary "its an living

Fred and Len dress to match - you can really tell the difference as Fred does not wear a white t shirt covered in Mousaka sauce!

MARKS 40TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. Bicycles with balloons affixed wine, more wine, dinner, more wine and booze in general at Apotheke Great Party. Mark has been saying again and again we should put pictures in the e mess, Those of you who are aware of the Luddite tendencies of the editorial staff will understand why this has not happened.

After Marks party [ well during it actually] the birthday boy vanished - Daniela who was about the only sober one there found phone you Mark asleep on a bench in the harbour and took a picture with her digital camera. This picture is now on a little black disc and with a little bit of help we will try to attach - fingers crossed

 

THE PICTURE SHOULD BE HERE - BUT IT ISN'T - IT IS ON PAGE TWO. TECHNOLOGY DEFEATED US - AGAIN!!!!

 

 

GREEK IN 35 YEARS There is a list of all the words we have learned - tests will be issued shortly, You have learned them haven't you? Three easy words this week - kelari is cellar, apotheke is storeroom and domatia is bedroom.

CULTURE Sue and Daniela started the Gorge walk again this week and the lovely Ourania in the museum has some wonderful new things - an antique restored mousetrap, a something to do with spinning thing and a marvelous model of an old plough.

PROGRESS ON ANN AND MARKS HOUSE. Well there has been progress however the Pole is still in the middle of the sitting room walls. The last issue inspired the following e mail from Gerry - [you may recall we thought that the pole could be used as a feature] "Thanks for the e mess. I don't think I know Ann and Mark but maybe you could tell them that I work for the Blackpool Illuminations Department, I could bring in my suitcase some wonderful features from the promenade for their pole. It could be the start of some spectacular new lighting system , maybe a large Teddy Bear or a rocking pig or how about My Little Pony. At least they wouldn't need a lamp would they? Talking of lamps they could have a ten foot Tiffany lamp. Sorry I'm getting carried away now." I thought I'd share that with you all as it has several of the Mak Inmates absolutely doubled up - thanks Gerry

FISH Still two left - it must be the ideal number.

FISHERMAN JACKS The O'clocks arrived, they had read about Fisherman Jacks in the e mess and brought a beautiful plastic seagull that flaps its wings - Mittens is fascinated by it and it makes everyone else smile. Note both the O'clocks were sorry to miss Tony.

BIG MAC INDEX YES YES They taste so good cold !!! Alkis had fish at Limani the other day and Sue had a cold Big Mac Jianni who is out of hospital now said " do you want a plate" It is the first time a Big Mac has been used as the meze with raki. [ unless of course you know different.]
