Summer Journal 2012, July 30

Sweat is pouring off my face because of the heat.  I've cleaned yet another window - this time in the study.  Tomorrow I will do the only other window in this room and then move toward the front and back doors.  Some events that have happened since I last posted - Our nephew Ioannis introduced us to a man who is a movie director, Vasilis, and Vasilis gorgeous wife, Olympia, and their young son, Constantino.  Apparently Vasilis has won several awards for his films, mostly documentaries.  Now he has completed a thriller for American audiences which is called "Lurk".  I think it has been released already in the States, but for some reason he wants me to review it in a private screening here.   I wish Addie was with me, she's so better prepared to review a movie.  Oh well, if in fact this is arranged, I'll do my best.

Yesterday Stell was happy to enjoy a big fish dinner at Christo's.  You can detect by the look on his face that it was a joyful encounter (for Stell, not the fish).  I had taglatelle with pesto sauce and my favorite Mediterranean salad.  We didn't go to the village last night.  Instead we played cards, and finally I won.  Stell has won the first two games of the summer, so he's been flaunting his success.  I was so pleased to come out ahead for a change, if even for a small margin. 

In addition to the card game we had the fertilizing team in the yard.  Although you only see two of the team, there were actually four who broke away from the large herd and came here to fertilize.

 I can't wait to see Jaiden's face when the crew shows up.  Stell tried to chase them out, but he's never successful, and I'd show you pictures of that, but I since he was completely naked, I don't think this would be appropriate.  It is an incredibly hilarious scene.  Perhaps I should speak to Vasilis the movie director about a documentary?
