Monday, start of Orthodox Lent, was a beautiful sunny day. We started off bundled up but by 3 o'clock the youngsters had stripped down to Tshirts and I took off my top layer too.
The Octopus was hung out on my washing line to dry a little before it went on the bbq
Feasting took place at my daughter's house. Not ours this year
The tentacles were so big our chief bbq-er skewered them and made them into octopus souvlaki
There was seafood and more seafood
Mussels in a mustard sauce, octopus, crabs, kalamari, spiky sea urchins (kina in Maori) and prawns
And lagana, the special flat bread eaten today
Poppi filling up a wine bottle from our 20 litre wine boxes. There's white and rose
Friend Jan and K
And the family dogs
Molly the Old English sheep dog
Boem the cocker spaniel (also called Rusty when I can't remember his proper name)
Junior, an Asian breed, with a name like jujitsou (but it's not)
And me and my girls
Next weekend is another long weekend.
Monday is a National holiday
The dogs are adorable. Especially Molly. She looks like a wonderful four legged friend.
