The Photo Gallery:Food

Published by

Two weeks have passed since I last posted. We have done a lot since: packed a house and put it in storage in Ireland, started from scratch(quite literally) with another one in Greece. Cleaned(well, as much as one can clean with a toddler “helping out”), furnished and settled into another one in Greece. Went from 17 degrees to close to 40 in a matter of days. Sweated buckets(even in my sleep), shouted LOADS (my coping mechanism to heat), took numerous baths both indoors and in the sea…And enjoyed fresh food from the market for ridiculous prices(my average spend on all I can carry fruit and veg never exceeded 15 Euro). So to celebrate this week’s theme at the gallery I will add something related to Greek food, obviously. Have a great evening, everyone, talk soon!(now that we have Internet in the house!!)

I haven’t linked into the Gallery for absolute ages. This week’s theme got me really excited, actually, as I tried to recall if I have any family photos I can use. Not of our tiny family unit, for a change, but of our big Romanian and Greek family units. I even woke up early a few mornings ago and found myself counting…cousins.

Unfortunately, last time I saw my dad’s family together was before the digital camera age so I have nothing on them :-(. Anyway, here goes, my family theme for this week.

I can’t remember last time I saw a movie in a cinema. Oh wait, something vague is coming to mind…it’s been a few months at least. Anyway, last night I just decided to go solo, left toddler with hubby for the last half an hour of her awake time and fled the house. Quite literally. Gooodness knows when I’ll be able to do this next, with us travelling to a different country and all… I didn’t have much time to check reviews on what’s good of all the movies that are out at the moment. What to expect had a cute trailer. Although seeing it I didn’t expect much ,to be honest, as I know trailers generally contain the best bits in the movie and I wasn’t particularly impressed by it. Okay, it had a large number of cliches ( all American movies do, I’m afraid): the rich and famous father who married a slut much younger woman and the scarred for life by his father’s behaviour son; the clueless father-gang thing protecting each other’s …
