Only here...

There isn't a vast amount to amuse us at the moment, frustration with the government (or non government), annoyance with very slanted way the foreign press are commenting on the situation here, and general European gloom. However, there are still amusing moments in life (apart from the Eurovision Song Contest which is always good for a laugh!).

When I went out of the gate this morning, I saw a notice from DEH, the power company, to notify us of a scheduled power cut on Friday. Usually these are pinned onto notice boards or occasionally on a tree. Not so outside my house - the sign was stapled onto a prickly pear cactus plant! I am so glad little things like that bring back to mind why we love Greece, despite its disasters.
