Well the balance is paid the taxi from this end is booked and we will be leaving home at 3.30 am this time for a 6.0am flight.
We are in touch with our Corfu taxi drivers on a regular basis anyway via Viber so that is sorted.
Just a waiting game now.

Ha ha Jimbo, yes Pete will be quiz master once again at 3Ws, so best keep swotting up for those possible (or is that impossible?) nearest the bull questions!

[Jules]

Looking forward to the quiz. Was great fun last year

[hippopots]

Aww, thanks Jules....Pete does work hard on those questions!

Well, we have been very spoilt with the most fantastic weather here for the last 10 days or so, warm and sunny, just a little chilly at night.
We went down to Agios Stefanos this afternoon, just to do a little preparation on our shop, and to take Bod for a walk on the beach, which is looking lovely at the moment. Quite a few others enjoying the beach this afternoon too, including some other dog walkers, and the microlite flyer who is there quite regularly at the moment.

The resort is slowly beginning to come to life, with some businesses beginning to start to do some maintenence in preparation for Summer, with some painting going on at Manthos and the Juice Bar, and some work in the garden of the former Ozzy Oil for the new taverna that is opening there.

And, we're also lucky enough to have Yiannis gyros open early this year, so we enjoyed our first gyros of the year sat outside a couple of days ago.

Could murder a gyros!

Can't wait we fly out June the 17th for 2 weeks 83 days and counting down

[anna]

to all "Manthos fans and long years regulars" : do contact him on fb via messenger, if needed i always translate for him he is well, but change isn't easy! His fb is Taverna Manthos .

[Kernock]

Don't do FB Anna.  Does he have an email?  I can Google translate.  I will be seeing him and trying out Manthos Taverna late May but would like to keep in touch

I understand Manthos is having a makeover!

[hippopots]

Now we're into April, work is commencing all over the resort!

I popped down today to do some preparation myself, and lots of people were bust beavering away.
Spiros was pressure washing at Silver Star, painting going on at Little Prince, and The Juice Bar is now a different colour.

Lots of work happening at Chilly Chili's ex premises, as someone new is taking it on, and making some changes, so that will be interesting.

And, yes Kernow, Manthos' has also had a fresh coat of paint and some work, also by the new tenents.

Yiannis grill room has been open a couple of weeks now, and is doing a great job of keeping us all fed and watered, and it looks like Tasty Corner will also be open soon, so us workers are being well catered for.

The beach is still lovely and wide, although it was a bit breezy down there this afternoon....the wind is increasing, and some dark clouds are looming. Rain is forecast for tomorrow, so we may lose the sun for a few days.
