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 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. 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.] Visit
