Last night’s dinner in Piraeus was memorable - in a good way. Sea bass lying on a creamy sauce. Splendid. Then I used the facilities and they were memorable too. When I had completed my business I looked for a method of flushing...

After I'd come home from shopping at the big Tesco, and after I'd had my dinner, I set of to join the Lichfield Tuneless Choir. I walked it there, and the weather was lovely, so I did not wear a coat. The Tuneless Choir meets at...

In the morning we leave Aegina for Piraeus. It’s been a good 10 days: I got to feed millions of mosquitoes on my blood and my wife got to give names to a considerable number of stray cats so it was quite a productive 10 days. We...

I heard a man say once, 'If you had a headache every day and then suddenly it was gone; you'd miss it." There's some truth to that. So what would you do if you woke up one day and all your problems were solved? What would be...

You might have trouble making sense of the lower of the two photos. The top image shows the front porch of our niece’s house which we’re looking after while she is away. Some of the uprights of the balustrade are missing and...

Fiacre Banks @judyev You might just find that your niece goes away more often now and asks you to house sit! I’m sure she’ll appreciate the repairs. I do like the word balustrade.

Fiacre Banks @traceyjayne We’ve got rain here in Greece - just a spot or two though. I do hope my son has remembered to water my flowers and veggies in Ireland.

There is a lot of building going on in our city and we often remark on the size of the cranes that are engaged in some of the construction. The other thing that has had us intrigued is the long-nosed flexible tube that pumps...

Vince has a Facebook account and put up a photo of one of my sister’s little goats, saying it didn’t look very gruff, which got me thinking if some of today’s younger people would get the reference. The Three Billy Goats Gruff is...

Fiacre Banks @judyev I loved the Three Billy Goats Gruff. I also unwittingly baffled my kids when they were growing up by telling to pull the chain after using the toilet.

Fiacre Banks @ambiepam We’re between cats right now, but I remember leaving one at a battery for a week and she wouldn’t look at us for two weeks afterwards. I also recall a friend being very anxious about what to do with her cat when she was going away. JOKINGLY I...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I’m burning citronella candles right now because mosquitoes hate it - good job I like it. Lavender’s good too but I’m not sure if either of those actually soothe me. Maybe lime.
