Okay, I’ve been down with another cold for the past two days and a bit crabby towards hubby because of it. So he decided we should go on a trip to see my in-laws six hours away, leave toddler into my mother in law’s trustful care and head somewhere for a wee “couple break”. It has become a tradition since we had Emma to have a two to three day break from everything tucked away in a good hotel on a blissfully indulgent Greek island. So my one post a day will become a sweet challenge as we never bring a laptop along when we’re away. But I’ll manage somehow :-). Cheerio for now, talk soon then!

We have been in Greece for nearly six weeks now. The house is furnished, the air con is in and everybody is settled into a comfortable routine. I am actually very content with it as with Emma we get to go for walks in the morning before it gets too hot(and the place we live in couldn’t be safer and more entertaining for a young child), then we have some Dora the Explorer time while mummy cooks. Siesta is a must every day and it’s not a rare occurrence for Emma to do up to three hours of zzzzzzzz….while mummy reads or rests. In the afternoon we do some indoor activity until it cools off and the we’re off to the beach for an evening swim with Daddy. We go to bed quite late because we always delay either with a gyros or souvlaki in the village square or watermelon or home baked sweets with our dear friends and neighbours. So it’s time for me to get back into blogging…I have been reading a lot …
