21 - 29 July 2020
We just heard that one of our friends is very ill, but can't get a proper diagnosis. He's in a lot of pain, but both their cars are off the road, and he can't sit on a scooter for any distance. We offered to run them about, in quest of a medical solution, so in the last week, we have taken two trips to Preveza for abortive MRI scan appointments, and four or five trips to Lefkas GP and hospital for blood tests and results. The house and garden have therefore been neglected, but the upside has been that we've spent a lot of time waiting in the car, in the blissful aircon (solar powered in our home-charged electric car), rather than sweltering at home in the current heatwave temperatures.
A few developments around the house:

The wasp nest under the Solarium roof is developing well - busy busy.
While we were away sailing, Lin looked after the garden and failed to neglect the bougainvillea the way we usually do. As a result it has put out its best-ever display of flowers.
We finally remembered to pick up the barbeque tray and grilles for our outdoor kitchen. These have been hand-crafted to exact measurements by Stainless Phil - they were rather more expensive than we bargained for, but will last several lifetimes, so that's okay.
