A trip to the bank in Kiti to settle two bills: Pervolia Community Charge 50 Euro for the year. We can live with that and two months 'maintenance charge' for the pool and surrounding area 86 Euro. I suppose that is OK although the pool will only be used for about 5 months of the year as it is unheated. I am yet to go into a bank, as Lillian deals with such things although it is unusual that all here have a bell that you need to ring to be allowed entry through the security doors. Sounds fine but sitting in the car watching people go in and out it would appear they just let anyone in so not quite sure of the logic.
Bowls ...... at last back to winning ways. Lillian and I were drawn on the same team first match but we, along with another lady all did well only to lose on the last ball (bowl) of the last end by one point. We were not despondent having played certainly our best for some time. The send game we were drawn on mats next to each other and both came away with resounding wins and both contributed a number of points for finishing with the winning bowl. Back to liking this game again and now look forward to Saturday to see if the new found form can last.
The last few ends were played under the threat of rain and as we walked back to the car a few spots fell. A quick stop at the supermarket which is just across the road from bowls (where most of the members seemed to go once we are finished). Us men stand and look and discuss important things such as which wine to buy and what beer is best value or gaze longingly at the fantastic range of cakes, while ladies look after the trivia such as what is for dinner tonight! We men all appear at the check out at the correct time and in disciplined fashion pack and carry bags. We know our place and role.
Once outside the clouds were even darker and sure enough ..... rain. Loads of it. Having indicated both ways, switched the lights on I eventually found the windscreen wipers which went so fats they ere like a blur across the screen. How was I supposed to know how they worked?
It rained for a couple of hours so most of the day was initially spent on 'in door' tasks. Lillian completed her stone steps for the garden and I watched tele, flicking across the very poor channels. We will need to get used to 'indoors' as winter approaches. Once the rain stopped the sun came out and we were back into the garden for Lillian to place he last steps and for me to continue 'digging Charlie'. The steps are made from flat black stones collected from the beach and each stuck to a piece of garden netting. They have then been buried amongst the smaller red stones / gravel.
Evening of 'The Wire'. We have started the 5th and final season. Only 10 episodes to go.
