Kalimera and Kefi / myLot

Kalimera Kalimera and happy Friday to everyone I am feeling in a Greek mood today, so I decided that it would be good for a Kalimera Morning. (Kalimera means 'good morning' in Greek) I am currently on Chapter 72 in the Hilarious, and the preperations of a wedding are underway. This book is such easy reading written by Katerina - Goat in The Meze. The word Amazon uses to decribe the book is "farcical look" which ciould otherwise be interurpreted as ridiculous, preposterous, ludicrous, absurd, laughable, risible, nonsensical BUT none the less a laugh a minute and I am loving it. The reason it takes me so long to read a book is that I like to remember the characters, the places, the names, the incidents that get them into so much trouble, and because I can only manage an hour a night before I fall fast a sleep. he he he

So today I dedicate my post to the laughable characters of Astakos and to Katerina for her gallant writings. Kalimera People, and find your Kefi . . . or as the Greeks say it "thats Life"

Kefi is an interesting word with no English translation, I would say it can be described as "the spirit of joy", dancing in the rain is Kefi. I am glad you are enjoying the book, Katerina is a great writer.

Will Katerina read this? Is she lurking somewhere on the site?

@MALUSE I don't have the time anymore but if there's plagiarists on Mylot I'm sure someone could expose & make fun of them. It was a hoot doing that.

@thea09 Oh, hello! Nice to see you here! Hunting plagiarists and cheats isn't as satisfying here as it was on bubblews. You wouldn't enjoy it as much. Yet, there are always some who think they can outsmart us. They can't, of course. :-)

Kalispera Lany, I'm so happy you're enjoying it. I actually wrote the Amazon blurb and plumped for farcical as the perfect description. I've been writing a storm and finished Book 2 in the Greek Meze Series on the day you penned this post, so been busy with final edits, cover etc. If my format chap gets it back to me overnight I should be publishing Rampaging Roosters tomorrow, which starts in the Astakos a few months after the first one finishes and the characters are getting into to all sorts of trouble.
