I uploaded photographs from Kithira on this Flickr page, as a celebration of life, blue doors and greek salad with feta and olives (there is a lot of food in the photos). So, no more of them here, we’ve had enough of the sea and the white houses, thank you. I am grateful for your support yesterday. I work from home now so I haven’t yet developed the thicker skin that is needed for being a journalist in Greece.
Fortunately this particular collaboration with the psychopath is only until the end of September. She is going to be washed away with the first autumn showers. But you were sweet. I haven’t forgotten about the cd we all made together. As soon as I returned from Kithira my computer became terminally ill and broke down again. This time I had already backed up everything but this temporary computer the technical support people gave me until mine is resurrected, does not have a cd recorder. So we are simply waiting for his majesty the computer to come home from the rehabilitation center. I will be back later with a post as poetic, profound, revealing, complex, touching, meaningful, as you have come to expect, namely, 5 lines about sweaty men in taxis.

I can’t wait
And meanwhile I’ll go over to flickr and see those photos ’cause I’ve not had it with white houses, blue doors etc. …

What a great photo of your son! My son and I spoke of his affection for pirates in the video we made…:(the one that I will mail to you in a few weeks time.
I got your postcard: it is hanging above my desk. Thank you, sweet friend.
Thank goodness you will be rid of the psychopath by the end of September. Shall we have a party then?
There is hardly anything more annoying than computer troubles. Hopefully yours get sorted out once and for all this time. Take your son in that pirate outfit when you go to the computer repair next time. Maybe it will scare the techies into fixing it properly
Have a good day, sweetie. I am off to work with my psychopaths (not my children, my colleagues).

Do you know how sometimes if you have been in a restaurant, you get home and the smell of your food has been absorbed by your clothing? I hope it’s not the same after you’ve ridden in a greek taxi.
I haven’t forgotten about my CD either, but these things take time with me, and I went through that unispired stretch of time. Soon-ish
PS - My blog is back in business. I was experimenting with the permissions restriction and had forgotten to take it off again. Further explanation via e-mail.

love the picture of your son! i am glad that the psychopath will be gone at the end of sept. thick skin is hard to have!
my daughter loves feta cheese. she calls it “confetta” cheese and sneaks into the refrigerator and eats it by the chunk! = )

As long as they are an eloquent, articulate and elightening 5 lines, then it matters not.
August 31st, 2006 at 11:50 am
As long as we can read about sweaty men in taxis and not actually smell them will be fine.

lol you certainly have the sense of humour to survive, that’s very important!
I’m glad you’ll be rid of the psycho soon, right on the same time I’m getting rid of my projects.
I love that picture - he’s looking very …authentic. He could be an actor or a model
I’ll be checking that flickr soon!

Lovely pictures, you ‘ve made me want to go on holiday again despite the autumnish weather
You are lucky to be rid of the psychopath soon, some days I have to put up with a colleague who listens to sfaira fm all morning!

I could never get enough of blue doors and white houses — so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your photos and your life.

“5 lines about sweaty men in taxis.”
Sounds like something released at the Sundance Film Festival.
August 31st, 2006 at 3:18 pm
You’re so funny! Love the photo of the young man!

Greek taxis just wouldn’t be the same without sweaty men, like NYC taxis, I bet.
Off to your flickr now…
August 31st, 2006 at 6:44 pm
Sounds kinda scary just thinking about sweaty men in Taxi’s. Mind you, I haven’t been in a Greek taxi in the middle of summer for a couple of years.
Glyfada to the airport seems a long way in a Taxi with no Air-con.

i could have (but restrained myself) commented on every one of your pics!! you should publish a book, yes! a coffee table book for ME so i can keep being motivated about making $$ for our greece trip
August 31st, 2006 at 8:39 pm
oh yeah I owe you a song don’t I? I just can’t decide which.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:31 am
Five lines … a lot can be said in five lines … from you.
September 1st, 2006 at 5:47 am
Chloe, how are you? I came to visit and I can’t wait for your five lines.
September 1st, 2006 at 10:02 am
That is just a great picture. He is going to love that when he gets older.
I do so hope things get better for you. Work is hard enough without dealing with someone like your psychopath.
Hugs,
Connie

Hope all is going well with you.
Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend …. hugs, Meow

My ma has a picture of me on the mantle of her cabin that is very similar to this of your lad.
What fine salt he will be.
