Yes yes…more kitties!

|

Many things happened in the pas 6-7 months… One of the happy events was our cat Yoshimi giving birth to 5 beautiful kittens. Photos go chronologically from the time she was still pregnant to now that we are left with two of her kitties (Mingus the black cat and Nazca the white one). Also we are now the proud owners of yet another kitten (why stop at 3 cats when you can have four…). It has no name, yet! For the moment we call it Foufie, until we get to know her better and find her a proper name! Enjoy the parade of kitty photos!!!! This was taken a week before she gave birth This was an attempt to take some pictures of the kittens in order to find families to adopt them; she got so stressed we took them out of the nest that we had to quickly put them back… This is Nazca, she still ‘lives’ with us. Her new mother is going to pick her up in August. She is going to live in Italy! What a cosmopolitan kitty! The were too cute to put down.. And this is Mingus, the one we kept for ourselves! This…

A walk around the island!

|

It has been a long and hard week and this walk around the island was exactly what I needed on a beautiful windy yet partially sunny Sunday! Here are some of the photos I took today and some old ones in the end of the post:     THAT smile!   These two goats where locked up in an abandoned building.   We went for a superbly delicious lunch in Pandeli. I love all the shells stuck on the buoy, it looks like it was done on purpose…   ANd the mandatory visit of  the castle with its lovely view of Agia Marina and Alinda!   And an older photo I took in Athens of some out of focus lights. I call it ”where is you focus?”    

Remnants of summer and automn!

I just emptied my phone from around 300 photos… Haven’t done that since August… So I decided to make a post with a selection of photos. Lilly sleeping and looking very comfortable in an uncomfortable position… A huuuuuggeee, fist sized, moth I spotted on the way to work on a hot August morning.   A last September swim in Pandeli. One of the things I miss about summer during the winter is not the weather (I hate summer weather) but rather being in the sea!   I designed this cake and the pastry cook realized it! One of the best meals I’ve had at the lovely Mylos restaurant!   When she is not wondering out in the ‘wilderness’ she is almost always sleeping…   And autumn arrived with some great storms… And yes autumn is my favorite time of the year! Perfect temperature and rain!!   And some great cloudy skies   In Athens for the Christmas holidays. It was really interesting how the city has changed in a matter of years!   CHOCOLATEEEE!!!   We tried molecular cocktails on my birthday.. I was not impressed, even though I absolutely loooovee cocktails   Aaaand back to the office….   I hope…

So, it has been a really busy summer for me.. Working a lot! I haven’t had time to relax and it makes me a little jealous of all the people spending their days at the beach and their nights out! But what can I do… This is the time I work most.. I will just patiently wait for winter to come.. 🙂 Aisha relaxing on a Sunday morning.. Cuteness to the max! Maffy or Mafalda or Big Muff… A lot of buterflies where I live.. It like a dream every morning! Yes, this is a chicken and yes it is in the midle of the street… Home made freddo cappuccino     Construction has finished, owners have moved in and it looks spectacular!!       Detail of the new house we built!   Morning dew.. Humidity reaching crazy levels (98%)   Bees having breakfast 🙂
