for strange work-related reasons, i've had three photos taken recently by proper photographers. i still find the smile stiffens but they do all use flash. so i've decided to be less anti-flash and see what happens

this gave the cbs many happy hours on the pool and was today joined by a rather alarming yellow plastic duck which the garden bloke left for us. in the evening, both floats zip about the pool blowing in the breeze

in search of different beaches, we found a little harbour with a tiny beach which alot of people had used as an ashtray which rather put everyone off swimming there. we found the flag pole which usually carries the largest flag in greece (??) but it, like a lot of the island, seemed to have had enough of the tourist season and had been put away. we stood on the cliff and watched the ships sailing up to italy.
