I was eating whilst watching Hercule solve a double murder which turned out to be only one murder. The phone rang from a Polish number and a woman asked if the camping was open and would I accept two motorhomes for one night. It transpired they would be travelling from Chania and would arrive in around two hours, assuming they left when they said they would. I gave the price and hung up grinding my teeth. About five minutes later, the same number called to say they would not be coming after all. I was unsurprisingly pleased as I wasn’t up for checking in two motorhomes after ten; they’d probably worked out the folly of travelling from Chania to Grammeno for just one night. I was therefore free to go to bed when it pleased me although I fell asleep anyway so was a little later than usual.
It felt warmer than the previous day, without the wind. The sky was clearer and less cloudy but the sea was noisy as it was running predominantly from the southeast. Nearly all of the dogs turned up and crossed the rocks together. We were soon at Azzuro with the problem of the goat carcass once more. I quickly extracted various dogs as I suspect the reason why I was up twice in the night was because some dogs had needed to go outside as a result of dining out!
We made it back to The Promontory where the Setra is now aligned east-west and the occupants have very much made themselves at home at the edge of the beach. The walk over the rocks was blustery and there was plenty of sea water in the rock hollows. It didn’t pay to dither when crossing the causeway unless you wanted wet feet.
We went out with four dogs and gathered up Luis as we came back from Azzuro for the second time. There was the usual amount of running about and jumping in the sea. I saw to that.
I rode to Anatoli and bought two seeded loaves and asked if a package had been left for me the day before. They said it had not. Perhaps I misunderstood what the guy was saying. After a quick visit to Petrakis, I rode back to Grammeno without having to stop for the roadworks only because they’d just opened it for traffic to pass. I could see that they are making good headway and expect it’ll only be a couple more years before the project completes. By that time, the next precarious rock face would have collapsed onto the road so they have a job for life!
I dropped bread for Lucy and Franz then returned to get on with stuff. Dogs to feed, food to decant and tea to be made. Then it was a matter of getting on with the next phase of Barbara’s website move.
I spend much of the remainder of the day moving the last of the NameServers over and finally pointing the website to the cloned site too. Barbara will work on that tonight which is one of the benefits of working with someone on the other side of the planet.
There were some diversions which included putting on a wash for Klaus, cooking beetroot and more exciting stuff like cleaning cat boxes for a small, ginger kitten which has recently appeared onsite. It seems that Jessica’s son is taking charge. He is a lot more outgoing this visit than last.
I put my bike into the storeroom and the batteries on charge as they are very low. Rain is forecast for early in the morning which is a pain although it may not happen until later looking at the satellite maps. The weather may head north to the Peloponnese and miss us, in the morning at least. That would be very handy.
The Spanish have dropped the father at the airport today, so now they are three. I warned them of the possibility of rain during the night.
I’ve left that lunatic Sasha out with her sister. Sasha is the one who barks not Maya. I shall bring her in when I go out for my food in a few moments.
