Last night rounded off nicely which an English Greek combo! Roast Chicken with a Greek influence!
Then this morning off to St Andrew's International Church....some songs were familiar...even if the spelling wasn't! Still, I'm sure the Savior/Saviour didn't have an issue with it! Uplifting to look around the room and see so many different nationalities represented.
Then it was off to Starbucks with a Greek/English/American contingent to drink coffee and have conversations about, amongst other things...Politics....but mainly the politics of the represented nations. The Americans are voting next week and the Greeks are striking for 48 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday....and we are supposed to be flying home during that time....We had planned to visit the Acropolis museum on Tuesday, but that will now have to wait for another time....as will the Greek wool shop I have discovered on someone else's blog.....It happens to be very near the museum, and also where some of the demonstrations take place...but since there will be no buses or trains running we won't be visiting on this occasion.
Can't believe the Christmas shops are appearing....there is no escape!
A spontaneous decision was made to have lunch in a local restaurant with resident feral cat waiting for food to drop....Could do with her at home.....but must not think of the mouse issue....
Moussaka! Dh chose a minced meat with rice wrapped in cabbage parcel served with lemon sauce. We shared a carafe of wine.....
A side dish of chick peas with tomato....
Then home to coffee on the terrace where Lucy the cat made an appearance briefly and we ate cakes from the "Cakes and Cookie Sale" at the church this morning in aid of a Ugandan orphanage.....which was probably a little decadent (the cakes not the orphanage)
...and I continued my french knitting "probably a christmas decoration" project, having completed the first dishcloth yesterday. I will make the next one a little smaller as I am using larger needles this time.
Caught up on Yeovil news via Facebook....can't believe it has snowed there today!!!!
