Αγνώντας
Agnondas
fredag formiddag, ganske så øde og forlatt, - men
alltid vakker.
Jeg tok våre to hunder på "vår" Agnondas runde, og
det var så moro å se hvordan Agapi fulgte hakk i hel på Pasxa.
De er perfekte sammen.
~~~~~~~~
Skyer kommer og går hele tiden, vi har nesten ikke vind. Men hvor
er regnet?
Nå som DU ikke er på ferie her kan
vi vel få regn? Vi må jo samle opp
til neste års sesong!
PS lørdag morgen; vinden kom i går kveld og
det har blåst i hele natt.

Agnondas
Friday early afternoon,
rather deserted,
but all so beautiful.
I took our two doggies "our" Agnondas round, and it was
so fun to see how Agapi just followed big Pasxa.
They are perfect together.
~~~~~~~
Clouds comes and goes all the time, nearly no winds. But where is
the rain?
Now that YOU are not on holiday we should get rain. We have to
collect for the next year!
PS Saturday morning; the wind
came last night and has blown all night.

"In a July report cited
at the conference, the WWF said 85 percent
of Greek water consumption is by agriculture
-- with most of the water squandered through irrigation losses
or used on
demanding crops like cotton."
"Experts also warned that
tourism, a vital industry in Greece attracting some 14 million
visitors annually, is also causing serious shortages on Greek
islands, with many resorts relying on tanker shipments from the
mainland to keep up with demand.".
"Tourism accounts for
around 18 percent of Greece's gross domestic product. The Athens
conference was being organized by several government ministries
and the Association of Greek Chemists, with support from the
United Nations Environment Program."

From www.cyprusedirectory.com
"Meanwhile the water transport from Greece is continuing
smoothly
and the government is confident that the difficult times that
people
are having will be overcome with the water saving measures taken
a few months ago."

"Greece's bears rise
again
THRASY PETROPOULOS
The country's shy and reclusive
brown bears were once tortured until they 'danced'. After they were
driven towards extinction, their numbers have apparently grown again
thanks to the work of the Arcturos sanctuary."
"He explained how brown bears have only one real threat -
humans. Being shot by illegal hunters or farmers protecting
their crops, or killed in collisions with cars are the most common
causes of bear deaths."
