Making your mindup.....Or sitting on your bum

Well you've been sitting on your arse and procrastinating quite a while now and OK I know you've had the bottom Bug but it's no excuse to do nothing. I've been taking care of things from this end and it looks like someone else has got off their arse as well. It's not gone unnoticed that your idea of dealing with Greek Bureaucracy always seems to involve a stop in cafe for a Frappe or Ice cream , but then I guess that's what it takes to build up the stamina to deal with these things.

Your A team have rallied round and that meeting in the Notary's office looked like a scene from the Godfather, the only difference was you dressed in your bright and colourfuls and not the traditional black widows garb. I felt quite honoured as they said Good things about me even if you were sworn to secrecy. There is as much chance of me not knowing stuff as Christine sitting in the back office.

So now you've made your mind up, I see the list writing is in full flow, Planning of all kinds is in progress albeit maybe ahead of schedule as you know everything moves Slowly, slowly but you are well meaning. The de clutter exercise is still ongoing just remember you won't be living in a small tent and that a yes, no maybe approach would serve you better than your favoured approach of bin it. How many things have you had to buy now that you shouldn' have had to. I know my bish, bash bodge it left you with a lot of tidying up and repair to do. The pond liner should last now, tested by the big freeze earlier at least there was only one fatality. Scott's installation of the UV filter has cleared the pea soup and Oscar and Molly have been eating for England since the workers have stopped coming round.

Now you've had another clear out of the memorabilia box and photo album I noticed just how your pile of cards to me seemed to lack refinement and romance and that you have deliberately chosen to keep all the significant Piss Take versions that you could out for all to see whilst my sentimental ones have gone back in the box. Well I always made you laugh apparently at my own expense so you may as well share them with the world.

The closest you get to romance

Must have been the early years

oh you knew me so well..........

I'll keep things moving from here and nudge you in the right direction when choices and finishes need to be dealt with.

Home at last

I’ve been sitting on the hall table for weeks waiting for my Holibobs. I’ve been wearing my sunhat and had my sunglasses to hand. Can’t wait. As soon as you started packing I knew I was on my way. Row One , speedy Boarding and only a slight hiccup in customs as they thought I was ‘dark matter’, it was only the bin liner you’d wrapped me in ‘just in case’, you said. ‘Just in case I spilled out of the overhead locker before I got to Kos’ you said.

Nice of that man to let me on first after the confusion when you told him you’d packed me in your suitcase, must have thought you and Boo were a bit odd. Anyway Gin and tonics all round. Good flight, on time, but left from a new gate and you had to carry me across the tarmac shame I still weigh several kilos.

Didn’t have to hunt for the car in the car park this time as your bestest mates were there to pick you up. Bit of a slow drive to Kefalos I thought, tell Ron to put his foot down next time. Didn’t appreciate being left on the back seat while you had dinner in Mistraili, couldn’t you have brought me out a Metaxa or two.

The apartment looked the same and I noticed you bagsied my bed this time at least Boo got a good night’s sleep from all you’re snoring. Usual paperwork trail back and forth in Kos town with a Frappe or Ice Cream slipped in just to keep you going. What about me? Isn’t it time you let me go.

Carried me down to the garden at last. Needs a bit of work. Where’s Manolis got to? Thanks for sprinkling me around at least the shaker’s a bit lighter now. I’ll be able to grow my fruit trees and vegetables. Good idea to mix me in with the compost to give the Figs, Lemons and that strange fruit Christine keeps mentioning but you can’t remember what it is a chance to grow. You can leave me here to check on the build, I can while away the time with a Sudoku, Kafe Elliniko Sketo and a Cigar and sit in the sun. I’m home at last.
