THE E MESS AND BOY WHAT
A MESS ITS BEEN THIS WEEK!!!!!!
Sorry Mat The Pictures
Buggered It Up -----------
ISSUE NUMBER SIXTEEN COMMENCING SOMETIME BEGINNING OF
OCTOBER 2001
|
The
Silly Season is probably over however the residents of this village have been
adversely affected by it and not yet got mentally out of it!! QUOTE
OF THE WEEK There is a slight change this week in as much as you
have to guess who said what about whom - "I think she thinks I am her
friend" Its
birthday week this week, Len had a party at Porfira
on Tuesday night [and he does not look a day older!!! It has to said that Fred has aged considerably though!!!!!!] - the 4th October is, I think, Michele's birthday
and on Saturday its Sue's. Generous
offerings - Ann upon inquiring about the plans for Sue's birthday, offered to
do the Villea welcome meeting - now that’s a kindness, especially at this
time of the years. If there is to be a party it would probably be the PARTY
FROM HELL since half of the prospective guests would either a] refuse to come
cos someone else was coming or b] come and glare at each other across the
table!!! CRETA
WAGGED HER TAIL Its Cretas birthday next week
and what she really wants is a cat - preferably Mittens the Villea mouser.
Mittens actually caught her first mouse last week, everyone was very proud of
her. Apparently
Mikle the Fisherman Jacks designer is arriving next
Tuesday - this info is second hand so you can never tell. Thanks
go to Mat who took a bunch of digital pictures which will soon appear on the
Villea website and I bet on Mats Gallery at explorecrete.com |
Whilst
the O'Clocks were in
residence I asked them if they would like to contribute to the mess - to give
another perspective to life in Mac. - I hope you all enjoy the following as
much as I did - Thanks Grandfather Clock!!! The
O'Clock Perspective "The
Makrigialos (S)mile" This week we are launching
a mini Markris competition. Entry is free to all
subscribers of the Emess. All you have to do is
walk the Makris "mile" and collect as
many smiles as you can coax from the many shops, bars and restaurants on your
way. For a every welcoming cheery smile you collect
5 points.The first one to 15 is our winner.
Validation of each successful jolly smile has of course to be captured on
photo (video evidence will qualify) Starting point Villea Village going west
towards the port. There are a number of stiff challenges along the way
starting in the bakery with the formidable Mrs Dough the bakers wife (no
points there I'm afraid). Along past Hannis where
on a good day you might collect some points but not today sorry. Ambling
wearily along the shiny tarmac we approach on the right the fruit market
where you may think the challenge is stiffest. But no, there is worse to
come, cos no points allowed for a "grunt". Undaunted we travel on passing
the motor plan where an icy stare awaits you and on to the mini market. Here
there are bonus points to be won, 3 extra points if Mr Mini is on duty and 5
extra if Mrs Mini is there to "greet" you. Still no points oh dear
but we move on. (no before we move on just offer
d10,000 it wont get you any points but there is some satisfaction .) Across
the street there is the pottery man is this a smile? (no
just flatulence!) On the left however there are points more easily gained. At
Porfira Lens smile is almost constant, sorry you
cannot pick up 5 points here, too easy. This popular Greek style eating house
boasts a very attractive bonus "Kasha" who puts a whole new
meaning to "stiffado". Moving very
swiftly on 5 points to
be picked up at |
FISH
Its quite amazing we still have
two!!!! FISHERMAN
JACKS. Last week the temperature soared it was thirty seven
degrees on the bar! Incredible that at the end of September we are still
flinging ourselves in the pool to cool off. BIG
MAC INDEX Sandra and Gary did an airport run last Friday and Big
Macs were promised sadly they got lost in Mallia
and no Big Macs - The following morning Daniela came bounding in to Villea
and upon discovering no Big Macs - it did look as if murder would be
committed!! Vassilis is in Thessalonika
so we hope for Big Macs next weekend. People
keep asking where Tony is? Thanks
