Northern European history geek happily marooned in Athens. Write to keep my sanity. Enjoy music and a good story - on page or screen - best savoured with a G&T or two. Travelling is my favourite way to meet people and explore new places.

I know I should fold them but it seems so pointless. They don't really wrinkle anyway.

“This time we’ll handle this differently,” they said. “We’ll be way stricter. No cats in the bed, not for any reason.” Not three weeks later… 🙄🤣😂

In Greece, you know autumn has arrived when people in your environment ask whether you've “κατεβάσει τα χειμωνιάτικα” - roughly, “brought out your winter clothes”. I never do. Probably because I grew up somewhere you might need warm clothes at any given time, even in summer. Do you?

Just checked flights for Christmas for our annual visit to my Mum's. Suffice to say that if it weren't for Mum, I wouldn't travel by plane at all right now. This is insane, even for the Christmas season. We're talking flights within Europe, ffs! 😳

I was almost mowed over by an idiot who jumped a red light to make an abrupt turn into a parking space that had just been vacated. I managed to jump aside because I heard him before I saw him. Bloody hell! May he never find an empty parking space again. Twat! 😡

Good morning. Happy October! xx 🍂

I love hot coffee with a side of spooky October wind.

Yeah, he's not as innocent as he looks. Yesterday, the shelter's two-week trial period was up, and we confirmed we'd keep him. So today he's scratching at anything he can get his paws on. Little menace. 🙄🥰🤣

Autumn Athens. I rather like this.

Google reminded me of this photo of baby N and me, taken 23 years ago today, on our way to the christening of one of her cousins. Time bloody flies! 💙

Morning! It's my day off. The cat let me sleep in. The boss is at a congress this week, and I'll go knickers shopping with kiddo later, which is always good fun. 😄 All in all, not a bad Monday. Have a good one. 😘

We replaced one of the wooden shutters in N’s flat, and I thought it might make a rather good screen around the outside shower at Mati. We’ve just hauled it downstairs and wrestled it onto the car. Fuck me, it’s bloody heavy! 😳😂

I love pretzels. Fresh, soft, yum. One of the few things I miss. To my absolute delight, our supermarket has recently added them to their fresh bread range, and they’re surprisingly good. Look at this. 😍

FFS am on my last pill... quite literally. I finally managed to give Sporty his dewormer tablet with some Churu cheese cat cream the pet-shop assistant assured me would never fail. Sporty loved it. I crushed the tablet, mixed it in. He devoured it. Triumph! He just puked right in front of my feet. 😩
