Lots to do and it is very very hot...
Spending time swimming, snorkelling, and just doing day to day stuff slowly so as not to get overheated.
It was around 40 yesterday!!!
I have set up our solar powered oven on the top balcony and we have bought a small oven/rotisserie/hob to use on the bottom balcony so we don't have to cook indoors.
My first attempt at cooking in a solar cooker - Yemista me Ryzi (except I didn't have room in the pot for tomatoes as well so I just chopped one up into the cooking liquid). So this is green capsicum peppers, baby round marrows and aubergine, stuffed with rice and herbs and other things.
Judging by all the steam and the thermometer which is still rising in temp - I am onto a winner here
The good thing is we were a bit worried about how we would cope with the heat of a Greek Summer - but it looks like we will be fine - touch wood.
Monday is supposed to be THE DAY for a predicted serious earthquake (tommorrow) so trying not to be too anxious about that.
Will take some nice Summery pictures to add to the blog soon.
We are getting a visit from someone next week (or are supposed to be) who is travelling on a seaplane!! I was hoping to get some interesting action photos of it landing on the water. But it will be landing at the airport instead .
I suppose it's more sensible, but a lot less interesting.
