Granny Henderson (photo 1987)
and the house she lived in;
Gamle Skopelosfarere
husker kanskje skotske Granny. Hun bodde i dette huset, som nå får en skikkelig ansiktsløftning. Hun var en fast gjest i min bar; The Owl Bar, og var en herlig, flott Granny.
Vi kalte henne det alle sammen, - kan ikke huske noe annet navn.Mange gode minner har jeg om Granny,
hun var meget herlig og spesiell!
Hun var en av de få kvinner, kanskje den eneste, som gikk på "Gubbe-Kafeen" og fikk servering!
Hun passet min hund Didi når jeg måtte reise bort, de trivdes godt sammen.Kom liksom til å tenke på henne da jeg gikk fordi der hun bodde i går, savner henne!
Flott å se at huset endelig settes i stand.
Det har stått og forfalt i mange år.
Legg merke til kanten oppunder taket, mange gamle hus har en slik, og
slik laves den;Old Skopelos travelers
might remember Scottish Granny. She lived in this house, and now it gets a real fix-up, great!
She was a regular in my bar; The Owl Bar,
and was a great Granny. We all called her that, - I can not remember any other name.Many good memories of Grabby,
she was a remarkable character!
She was one of the few, maybe the only one, who went into "The Olds Mens Café"
and got served.She always looked after my dog Didi if I had to go away from the island.
I thought a lot about her since I passed the house yesterday, I miss her!
Great to see that the house are getting fixed.
It has been falling into decay for many years. Here you can see how they make that "edge", many old houses has that along the roof-corners;
In the street where she lived ...Jeg fikk ikke tatt foto
av flyttelasset fra mitt hus i byen,
der var det ikke mye margin. Kjøleskapet kunne ikke stå oppreist, forda ville det slå inni balkonger på veien! Dette gir en ide!
I did not take photos when
the truck moved me from my town house, it was not much margin. The fridge could not stand up, then it would crash into balconies,
- so photo up here gives an idea!
The Paralia 25th of October 2010
Her er stille!
Ingen på Barramares, ingen parkerte biler,
og ingen turister! I hvertfall ikke
da jeg tok mitt foto!Mikri gjør nytte for seg, her leker hun
med en død "spiss-mus";Here is quiet!
Nobody at Barramares, no parked cars,
and no tourists! At least not when I took
my photo!Mikri is doing her "work", here she plays
with a dead shrewmouse;
Athens and Ankara have agreed, in principle, on a resolution to their disagreements in the Aegean, sources have told Kathimerini.
The likeliest scenario is that Turkey lifts its objections to Greece extending its territorial waters in the Aegean to 12 nautical miles but that this extension only applies to the coastline of its mainland, not the Greek islands. Practically this scenario would mean that Greece secures control of less than 80 percent of the Aegean. Sources say that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is keen for a consensus on the Aegean to be reached by the end of the year. During Erdogan’s visit to Athens on the weekend, Prime Minister George Papandreou reiterated Greece’s concern about ongoing transgressions of its air space by Turkish jets and urged Erdogan to make good on pledges to curb this activity.
