A day of acquisitions

Friday 14 March 2014

One of those days when everything happens at once.  We had to go into Lefkas, and enquired about the terracotta tiles, which happened to have arrived, although no-one had notified us - and the delivery van was leaving for Nidri in 5 minutes!  So we aborted the rest of our shopping and shot back to meet the van, stopping only to check the post office and find that our new *electric* kettle had arrived.  A very exciting development - we had found out that you can get low wattage kettles for caravans, so I traced a supplier who would deliver to Greece and Eureka! we can use our free electricity to make tea, instead of burning gas (a dangerous occupation in a straw house).

Sixteen square metres of Cretan terracotta tiles for the kitchen

Our fancy new low wattage electric kettle - feels nicely substantial and brews up to 4 cups of tea at a time.  Dave has marked two cupsworth on the side, so we don't waste any watts!

And a bit of hopeful planting - blueberry, raspberry and blackberry canes (only one of each) just to see what happens.
