23 - 27 September 2012
Rob has decided to go back to the UK, and picked up a flight at short notice for Friday 28 Sept, so suddenly we are dropped into a whirlwind of farewell activity.
On Sunday the band were asked to play in the Roadhouse Rock Club. Also on Sunday, Dave's sister and brother in law, Linda and Ian arrived for a two-week holiday on a late flight. They made it in to the gig, for a short time. We didn't leave till after 3 am.
On Monday it was lovely Mike's 70th birthday, still not looking a day over 55, and overwhelmed by the number of people who turned up to wish him well. (Sue wouldn't turn round for the photo!) Mike had asked the band to play, so we didn't get home till 2 ish.
On Wednesday we all got together for a farewell family and friends dinner for Rob, followed by a visit to the Tree Bar for Rob to see his best mate Vicky.
The Hodge boys doing their best to look really miserable ...
... but it didn't last long!
I couldn't bear to break this up too early, so another late night crept up on us.

On Tuesday brother Pete announced he had found a very short notice flight to go home for the car and the dog before Edna arrived later in October, and would we drive him to Igoumenitsa. We were home after dark, with eyelids pinned open.
